Description
A lovely walk in to this beach which has views across to Kippford. Quite a long, shallow walk in to the water, but can feel a little sludgy underfoot in places, plus a few shells and rocks underfoot. The swim is in a protected bay. In the summer the water warms up nicely as it comes in and the views are just fabulous
Getting There
From Dalbeattie drive to Palnackie and take the first turn in to the village driving past the pub. Take the second turning off to your left down a very small country road for a mile or so. Go past a turning to your right which takes you past Orcharton Tower and back to the Dalbeattie-Auchencairn road. Eventually you will come to some parking on L for 10 cars). Keep walking 500 metres to the road end and go through gate and follow path into woods. It is a mile or 2 on forest paths to beach.
