Description

Wide stretch of beach great for taking a dip. Flat, shallow entry to the sea means you're still waist deep quite a way from the shore. Tide comes in and goes out quickly. Good for spotting seals, sea birds etc. Popular with dog walkers. Also a good location for skinny dipping. There are signs on the approach to the beach showing the safe areas to enter the sea.

Getting There

Park in Findhorn or one the beach car parks nearby.

Accessibility

It's very easy to enter the water. Do watch out for the signs which highlight the danger spots, mainly around the edge of the spit and harbour entrance.

Lovely spot to swim as easy entry and big open beach. Flat so no steep entry just gradual. Local (family knowledge) advice not to swim near mouth of river as rip/current there so not safe.

What a beautiful, remote place this is. Backed by beach huts and dunes there were just a handful of people well spread out some distance away from us. We left all our clothes in a bag on the sand, about 30 feet from the shoreline and waded into the shallow warm water. We encountered an interested seal as we bobbed about. The tide moves fast here so had to rush out and take the bag closer to dunes for fear of losing our clothes to the sea.
