Findhorn Loading Bank

Highlight • Viewpoint

Findhorn Beach

Highlight • Natural

Findhorn beach is a huge sandy stretch from Findhorn all the way east to Burghead, about 10km in total. Inland along the beach are dunes at the Findhorn end and forest at the eastern end so it feels wild and cut off from the rest of Scotland. It's amazing to run on from a space point of view but hard underfoot :-)
