In the shelter of Dunnet Head lies the two mile stretch of golden sands of Dunnet Bay. Backed by sand dunes, it is a bird life haven , with oyster catchers, eider ducks, great northern divers, curlew and ringed plovers to name a few. It is also a popular place for surfers when the winds are out the north west. The vast expanse of the beach means that you certainly won’t feel its over crowded, even on a nice summers day.
