The harbour at North Sunderland, as the old village was called, was built for the herring fishery and is still home to a few fishing boats. Today it is mainly where the Farne Islands boats leave from: several operators sell trips from kiosks along the harbour, and departures depend on the tide and the weather. Book ahead in puffin season, from May to July.
