Very steep down! You need to be fit and able bodied and still could dangerous in bad weather. is very quiet, covered in stones of all shapes and sizes. I found there to be quite an overpowering smell, maybe from he black sand?! But all in all worth a look for nice quiet walk. Perfect place for a with the dog along the cliff tops or even along the Blast on a sunny day. Hot drinks vendor in Nose's point car park for those who haven't brought refreshments with them. Plenty of space for kids to run around. Favourite place for fishermen to spend hours drowning worms in the hope of catching something a bit bigger. Plenty of car parking spaces for more than 50 vehicles. Not quite as much Sea glass to be found there unlike Seaham Hall though 🤣 Very picturesque and interesting place. Go and explore. extraordinary with backdrop to cliffs with nesting birds and very unusual ponds due to clay and other strange rock structures.its a wobbly pebbly itself so whilst great to explore the various changes in terrain its not one for towels deck chairs and sun cream. Me and the dogs loved it even in the rain absolutely stunning views! Very dark brown sands something new to discover. Enjoyed our visit. A nice and peaceful beach, which is fairly easy to access. This is a great place to find Sea Glass if you're interested in that kind of stuff and you can easily find some if you dig around in the rocks a bit! Overall usually pretty quiet and peaceful, would definitely recommend! It's hard to believe how few people visit here. Blast is stunning, you can immediately see why it's part of the Durham Heritage Coast. There's plenty of parking near Nose's Point or its an easy 30 minute from Seaham (40 from the station). Thanks to the National Trust's cleanup project, you'd never know this was previously the home to the biggest coal mine in Europe. Interestingly, we also found out that Blast was used in the in opening scenes of Alien 3, no doubt for its otherworldly vistas. We saw a lot of dogs having the time of their lives, and a few kids hunting sea-glass. We were told you could see Dolphins swimming in the bay on a good day, but we weren't so lucky. There's no food options close by so make sure to bring plenty. If you're in the mood for an ice cream, there's a truck at the parking lot that takes cash only. Nice down the blast beach. Bit of a steep hill to get down, I'd recommend walking boots due to the ground. Beautiful peaceful with only a few other people on the beach. I walked the England Coast Path from Noses Point car park along the cliff tops overlooking National Trust Blast Beach. It was a glorious day and the views were wonderful. I didn't go down onto the but I will be returning soon, and have been told I may need to use walking poles. I can't wait to see the rock formations close up!
