Dawn Mole said: "We spent all the summer holidays at the Northumbrian coast at Newton-by-the-Sea and Embleton."
Jinty Brown said her favourite place was Beadnell.
Pat Stott commented: "We stayed with our grandparents in Lynemouth every summer, loved Cresswell and Newbiggin," while Maryrose Ridley added her favourites were Bamburgh and Seahouses.
Visit Northumberland said: "Northumberland has beaches that are some of the most beautiful, immaculate and quietest in the country, from the wide sweeping beach of Budle Bay, to the iconic and dramatic beach at Bamburgh."
Many coastal areas are dog-friendly, with most beaches throughout the county welcoming them throughout the year.
With family
Ann Robson said: "My Nanna and Grandad's."
Brockwell Woods, Blaydon Burn Farm
Paul Lewis chose Brockwell Woods.
The farm's website said: "Brockwell Wood is only seven miles away from Newcastle upon Tyne in 26 acres of ancient woodland, offering visitors a tranquil, yet accessible retreat from the hurly-burly of modern life.
"This campsite is for those who want a back to nature experience - we don't have shops, toilets and showers at the site, but we do offer real back-to-basics camping."
Various camping options are accepted, from tents to caravans and small campervans. Dogs are welcome if kept under reasonable control, the site said.
Dilston Scout Campsite, Corbridge
AB Smith voted for the scout's campsite.
It is described as a 10-acre campsite 'situated in an idyllic location in the Northumberland countryside close to the historic town of Corbridge. The Devil's Water river gently ambles through the site and is a perfect location for exploring water activities, wildlife or just enjoying its natural beauty', the website said.
The campsite does not take commercial or family bookings. No dogs are allowed on site.
Warden Rocks
Bernard Craig said: "Swimming at Warden Rocks, brilliant."
Swallowship Wood, Corbridge
Alyn Moulding mentioned Swallowship Wood, near Corbridge. It is another location on the Devil's Water river and is to the south-west of Hexham.
