Just outside Macduff, you’ll find the historic tidal pool at Tarlair, once one of the largest in Scotland when built in 1932. Though no longer used for swimming, the beautifully restored Art Deco tea pavilion is a perfect spot for a break. While there, take a short wander to the secluded Salmon Howie beach tucked behind the cliffs—well worth the visit.
