I quite often cycle this route in the dark and it’s nice seeing Dundee lit up.

Try the harbour cafe, excellent cake and coffee. Open every day and run by volunteers.

At weekends, in summer, in addition to the normal food sale at the car park, there is also the "Salt & Pepper Largerita" pizza van, open until 9 p.m. The pizza is really amazingly good! You can sit at tables with benches, in the rustic wooden deck chairs, on new benches around the fire bowl or on the existing picnic blankets on the ground in the sand. Really nice atmosphere. Entry into the nature reserve and the car park costs £2 GBP. Toilets are in the green house behind the "wooden pyramid" at the front of the car park.

Definitely a very nice waypoint on the cycle route that's worth a pause for that photo.

A worthy waypoint on a ride. Worth the wee detour off the main road for a photo opportunity and maybe take a somewhat scenic break for refreshments.
