Lunan Bay

Lunan Bay is widely regarded as one of Scotland’s most beautiful beaches, offering an expansive sweep of golden sand framed by dunes and open countryside. The beach remains relatively unspoilt and provides plenty of space for visitors even during busier periods, making it perfect for families, walkers and anyone looking to unwind by the sea.

The area is popular for activities such as coastal walking, surfing, beach games and picnicking, while its natural beauty also makes it a favourite for photographers. With views stretching along the coastline and peaceful surroundings, Lunan Bay offers a classic Scottish seaside experience and is well worth the short drive for a memorable day out.
