Nestled on the north Northumberland coast, North Sunderland is a small coastal parish in Northumberland, England, closely linked with the adjacent village of Seahouses. Facing the North Sea, its working harbour and quays serve both local fishing boats and tourist launches to the Farne Islands, making seafood and visitor services important parts of the local economy.

The area retains a strong maritime character born of its fishing past and remains popular with walkers, birdwatchers and families drawn by nearby landmarks such as Bamburgh Castle and Holy Island. Socially it blends a close-knit resident community with a seasonal influx of visitors and holiday homes, giving a relaxed, informal feel typical of Northumberland’s coastal villages.
