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.

The Solway Coast Cycleway winds along the Solway Firth coast between Maryport and Carlisle, and is one of the most accessible and visually appealing sections of Hadrian's Cycleway. The route largely follows the B5300 and offers panoramic views across the Irish Sea, with views of southern Scotland and the Isle of Man on a clear day.

Hadrian’s Cycleway Route has some quite challenging hill climbs but the views and historical sites well worth the effort

On the facade of Jack's Surf Bar in Allonby is a large-scale mural of Colonel Tom Moore, created in May 2020 by Maryport artist Bethany Gray. The work was created during the COVID-19 pandemic as a visual tribute to Moore's fundraising efforts for the NHS and was made possible by local community support.

Allonby is the ideal seaside spot for an ice cream after a long walk. Its long sandy beach is a gorgeous place for a stroll, with big Solway views across to the Galloway Hills in Scotland. It's a village of traditions. It has a proud herring fishing heritage as well having a reputation for sea-bathing.

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.
