Allonby Beach is a vast sand and shingle beach on the Solway Firth, known for its panoramic views, shallow tidal pools, and rich birdlife. Located along the B5300, the beach is a popular stop on the Solway Coast Cycleway. Historically, Allonby was a fishing village with Quaker influences, evident in buildings like the Reading Rooms and North Lodge. Today, the beach is popular with walkers, kitesurfers, and heritage seekers, with views across to southern Scotland and, on a clear day, the Isle of Man. It is part of the Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and borders the environmentally protected Allonby Bay.

This stretch of the Hadrian's Cycleway enjoys stunning views over the Irish Sea. Separating the islands of Ireland and Great Britain, the Irish Sea links Wales, Scotland, Ireland and England together. As there is no land connection between Ireland and Great Britain, the sea is an important trade route between the islands. Around 10 million tonnes of goods are traded between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK per year.
