A car park is located on the Beal side of the causeway together with tide and crossing information. Alternatively you may purchase Holy Island Tide Table from our Lindisfarne Electronic Bookshop' . A clearly marked route links the mainland to the island across the sands and mud. Newcomers are cautioned against using this route unless accompanied by a person with local knowledge. Tide times are subject to vast variations throughout the year and in particular during strong winds.
Tide tables can only be advisory.
Ensure that you observe the warning signs particularly along the road side. The tidal currents can be very strong. Should you become stranded use the refuge boxes provided. Whilst a Holy Island Tide Table is available from our Island stockist or at the Northumberland County Council web site, tide heights can vary considerably with the phases of the moon and with prevailing weather conditions. For those booking accommodation - tides are best checked with your accommodation provider.
