Stretching 2 miles along the north coast of Scotland, Dunnet Bay is a beautiful arc of white sandy beach and rolling sand dunes. The bay is home to diverse wildlife including eider ducks, ringed plover and oystercatchers. You will also find lots of shells and whelks. The bay has toilets and a picnic area.

A magnificent beach of fine sand protected by an immense barrier of high dunes. Perhaps the most northerly surf spot in Britain.
Spectacular!
