Along the Cliff Trail you will come to this stunning beach. You can either hike above it or directly at the shore. There are some interesting caves at the northern end of the bay that are best accessible when the tide is low.

Hiking

A long and secluded beach, it is approximately 30-40 minutes walk from the car park at Arbroath, and a good turning point if you're exploring the cliff trail. There are some of the caves here - Dark Cave and Light Cave at the north end are the highlight of a walk along the cliff trail.
