    Hiking

    The River Thurso, which flows into the sea at one side of the beach, is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and the beach is popular with fossil hunters. This is Caithness' main town beach so the facilities, access and parking are all excellent. The beach itself is a mix of sand and rocks. The offshore reefs also make this a popular surfing location.

    Hiking

    Thurso beach is approximately 500 metres of sand, with rocky sections, stretching for about 500 meters alongside the town. To the east of the beach, the River Thurso flows into the bay, the real surf action takes place on the reefs off Thurso East.

    Hiking

    What a beautiful beach overlooking Scrabster. It's always special to walk along the seafront, watching and listening to the waves. Access to the beach was via a few steps at either end. On the day I visited, it was beautifully clean and the wind was blowing quite strongly. It's a truly superb location.
