Planning a visit to Holy Island over the summer? Don’t get caught out by the tide like these drivers!
The popular Northumberland tourist destination is a notorious blackspot for emergency rescues, as motorists become stranded on the causeway by rising waters, often having to be rescued by the Coastguard and RNLI.
Be sure to plan your visit around the safe crossing times, which are displayed on both sides of the causeway and around the Island, as well as on the Northumberland County Council Website.

I was there on the 24th of October it is so easy to check the tide times and it is also on a light board near the causeway,it is unbelievable that people ignore this.

Its not fresh water, so even when you have made it across chances are the bottom of your car is going to rot out in six months, never buy a used car from around there.

Maybe I’m missing something but I don’t get it, why not just build the road structure like 15 feet higher to counteract the fluctuating tide problems? I’m even more confused how the road was built/up-kept in the first place if the tide rises twice a day every day like that.

I went once but didn’t manage to cross because the tide was coming in. Sunderland point near Morecambe is another tidal road. Ive been there a few times as its not too far from me and the danger there is the tide comes in at various inlets, you can easily get cut off half a mile behind without realising. That nearly happened once, I was in a little Suzuki Celerio, went with my girlfriend and were taking photos etc, saw the water coming in and turned round to head back and was faced with a lot of water in front and the road covered. I had no idea how deep it was but had to carry on, luckily not up to my bonnet and got through. Next time I went in a Subaru Outback. Drove down the road while the tide was still partially in. You have marker posts at either side of the road to show approximately where the road is but before you get to the beach at the far end, the posts and the road run out and you are basically faced with the open sea in front ! Bit nerve racking, I had no idea what was under the water. Good choice of car for that 👍

Also worth mentioning how horrifically bad seawater is for cars. Even if you make it across through the water, you're going to have to intensely clean anything and everything that made contact with the water to prevent rust and corrosion - often including the axles and transmission. So even if you make it across like those two SUVs in the video, you'll have a massive headache waiting for you upon arriving home.

It’s completely fine and well out of the water. If you cross when it’s safe to cross. I wish KZfaq allowed you to post pictures and replies because I have driven across the causeway when the tide is completely out and you wouldn’t know that the land becomes completely submerged if it wasn’t for all of the signs, telling you it does. Honestly if you cross during the safe times it is perfectly safe and if you did run off the road, you would just run onto sand and dunes asfar as the eye can see.
