caption_attribution_description: English: Beach at Crosscanonby A view across Allonby Bay. The beach is a mixture of sand and coarse stones but is here strewn with a lot of builders' rubble. This is beside the northern end of Maryport Golf Club. The tide is well in, but receding.
context_page_description: Allonby Bay is a crescent-shaped bay of the Solway Firth on the north-western shore of Cumbria, United Kingdom. The bay is 5.5 miles across. Its northern point is at Dubmill, between the village of Mawbray and the hamlet of Salta, and its southern end is just to the north of Maryport, near the village of Crosscanonby. The B5300 coast road follows the shoreline of Allonby Bay, running between Silloth in the north and Maryport in the south.
  As an inlet of the Solway Firth, Allonby Bay is also part of the Irish Sea. The bay is named for the village of Allonby, which sits roughly in the centre of the shoreline.
