Amble by the Sea is a small coastal parish on the Northumberland coast in Northumberland, England, sitting at the mouth of the River Coquet. It has a compact harbour and marina, easy sandy stretches and serves as a popular base for birdwatching and coastal walks, with views across to Coquet Island and lying within the broad landscape of the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Historically Amble grew in the 19th century as a coal-exporting port and has a strong fishing and crabbing heritage; traces of shipbuilding and industrial past sit alongside recent harbour-side regeneration. Today the local economy mixes working boats, small businesses, independent shops and cafés, and seasonal tourism, while a lively community calendar and arts activity give the place a friendly, close-knit character much appreciated by visitors and residents alike. Nearby historic settlements such as Warkworth add to the area's appeal.
