Amble is an easygoing harbour town where dogs can join waterside walks around the marina, harbour and River Coquet estuary before stopping at the cafés, pubs and small shops clustered nearby. The centre and waterfront sit close together, so it is simple to alternate between breezy outdoor stretches and indoor breaks. Longer coastal walks and sandy beaches are also within easy reach on either side of town.
