About

Humphrey Head Beach is located on the Morecambe Bay and it is in the 5th place out of 16 beaches in the Cumbria region The beach is located in a natural place, surrounded by the cliffs.

It is a long lasting coastline with crystal turquoise water and bright sand, so you don't need special shoes. The entrance to the water is very smooth. This beach is suitable for different categories of people, lonely travellers, relaxation getaway lovers, hikers etc. It is almost deserted place even during the high season.

Humphrey Head Beach coast is free for all. It has no amenities, only nature. .

Please note, that this shore has a significant low tide.

In addition to swimming and sunbathing, you can also take part in other activities.

To get to the beach, you need to walk along a mountain trail about 500m long. Parking is located at some distance, within 300 meters.

Humphrey Head Beach (Cumbria) is located outside the Kents Bank settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the sunny coast, but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

Nice walking area. Ideal for dog walking. We parked at the nearby carpark below Humphrey Head. We were going to have a scramble up, but due to quite a bit of water we instead accessed the trig via the path next to the outdoor centre. Nice 2 and s bit mile walk.

Great viewing spot, dog friendly but be mindful of wandering sheep. Amazing weather on the day. You won’t be disappointed!

Wee drive here to check out the scenery, last couple of miles is a very tight single track road with only a few passing places and vegetation scraping the sides of the car, avoid with a big vehicle. Once on foot a decent walk for us as it was very dry. The tide was miles out for us, couldnt see the water it was so far out. Could be a bit dodgy I would think with the tide coming in and bad weather so plan ahead for a nice day. my springer spaniel loves it too, he was swimming in all the little bits of water left behind. Lots of birds in the cliffs including some Peregrine's, very good for a wee adventure.

Beautiful place. Followed the road right to the end and found a small car park. The tide was out so we walked along the side of the point (careful this can get real muddy) to the end where it is low enough that you can walk along the top and back towards the activity centre. From there you can either re-trace your steps or just follow the road back to the car park. There is an airfield nearby that spent all day dropping parachuters from the plane, that was interest to watch.

Nice walk, although it was 24 degrees and our doddering 12yr old Schnauzer (he's on the photo) struggled and we had to call it a day before getting halfway. The younger two dogs loved the mud and water though, unfortunately.
