Name: This is one of my favorite places to visit. It's a pleasant walk from either the car park at Forvie Nature Reserve in Collieston or the car park at Newburgh. The bay is secluded and beautiful, and I've enjoyed the spectacular scenery in all kinds of weather. In the summer, there is an abundance of wildlife, including various birds on the reserve's lochs before reaching the bay. It's definitely worth a visit any time of year, and my dogs absolutely love it, which adds to the experience.
