The local council have recently made a significant investment to redevelop Blyth Beach promenade . The Ian Darby Partnership's design features original materials, such as reclaimed concrete slabs from the old promenade and wood from sustainable sources.

Movie fans may have seen part of Blyth without ever being aware of it. Once a thriving coal port, the chase scene across the railway coal staithes at the end of the 1971 film Get Carter, starring Michael Caine , was filmed in Blyth harbour. The harbour currently handles up to 1.5 million tonnes of cargo a year including forest products, metals and a wide range of other commodities.
