"Lovely beach. Soft sand and tons of smooth stones for skipping. Parking along the beach front. Great place to walk the dog"

Shawndell Irving

"Stunning beach, even when its busy you can find a quiet little spot, very clean and the cafe is lovely! Been swimming there and it's a great spot to do paddle boarding. Also across a little way is Inverness airport so you can see planes landing and taking off but you can't hear them! Love this spot!"
