Large fishing boats moor along the harbour wall and land a variety of fish, prawns, crabs and lobsters. There is a fish centre on the side of the harbour that is now primarily a shell fish hatchery to re-stock levels of lobster and other shell fish, this sells local fish and is open to the public. A mile south of Amble is Coquet Island, an rspb reserve with a large population of terns, puffins and eider ducks and boat trips around the island can be arranged.

The town of Amble is excellent with a large variety of eating establishments all providing excellent food and very friendly service. The cottage is well equipped. Two of the bedrooms are cramped although adequate. The en-suite toilet and shower is effectively a cupboard but the bathroom is plenty big enough with an over bath shower. Overall we had a lovely vacation in a beautiful, natural part of Great Britain and would thoroughly recommend visiting this location
