Walk to the paved pathway along Lumley Beach. Arrive early to secure a good spot and avoid the rubbish-covered end near Aberdeen.

Watch the sunrise over the Atlantic. The sun sets toward the WSW, meaning the morning light will beautifully illuminate the eastern horizon and the beach.

Finish your morning at Chapter One. This modern complex is just a short walk away and offers a place to sit, have breakfast, or enjoy the view of the golf course.
Local tip
The beach is popular for football and running, and normally crowded on holidays and weekends. An early start ensures you have space to breathe.
