Industrial iron and coal dump transformed into a dramatic, rugged coastal beauty spot. Blast Beach is named after 19th-century Victorian blast furnaces. It famously served as an industrial dumping ground for Dawdon Colliery and was used as the alien planet backdrop in the film Alien 3.
Vehicles are restricted to the clifftop. Pedestrians can access the beach via the England Coast Path pathways, but descending to the sand requires navigating a very steep, rugged, and unpaved cliff track.
