    Tips

    July 27, 2023

    Collieston is a small, sandy beach nestled within the fishing harbor. It formed in the 19th century when breakwaters were added to the harbor, leading to the build up of sediment. The beach is sheltered by the natural harbor and the protective harbor wall, making the water calm and peaceful.

      January 19, 2024

      In the 19th century, Collieston was a busy fishing village with an excellent natural harbour. To improve the safety for boats, breakwaters were constructed. This caused the harbour to fill with wonderful golden sand, creating the idyllic sheltered beach of today.

      The sandy beach is perfect for families and children. The nearby ‘Smugglers Cone’ shop serves delicious ice cream, drinks, and snacks. The beach is also dog-friendly.
