Could maybe try Seahouses, Good access with pub overlooking the pier.
I'm sure last time I was up Beadnell the access was ok as you could park pretty much next to where you fish on the little pier.
I don't know what's being caught up there atm But I'm sure someone will fill you in.

Craster or Seahouses would be easier for your lass, not sure about Beadnell tbh, Craster Harbour (inside) is really only fishable when the tides up, although you can fish the South Pier at the end on the seaward side for small Coleys throughout the tide.
Had a couple of cracking flatties out of the harbour a few years back

Fished the north pier at Craster 3 weeks ago with the wife, its easy access and there is disabled parking nearby. It is a sun trap and the wall acts as a wind break, was catching small pollack on small shrimp flies in the harbour, also got a few bigger ones on the float over the pier wall. The pub also does good food and beer.

Amble might be worth a go, easy access, plenty of pubs, chippy etc.. good tackle shop as well. try fishing behind the south pier over the hard ground at high tide, cast towards the island. Had a few poodlers and macky a couple of years ago on small mepps.

Last time I was up there during the summer months the kids fishing the harbour entrance with prawns fished under the float and had coalys up to about 4lb .

craster harbour sounds best bet but like says tide further in wud be a better option and parking ok

seahouses or beadnel is easy fishing of the skeers but not for some one on crutchs, craster or amble piers ideal with disabled parking next to piers,why not try walker.st peters basin ,copthorne, or business park,fish straight out of car on promenades ideal for wife,best in smaller tides,and plenty of fish with the odd bass a possibility. davy.
