Latest reviews on Moray's beaches

Findhorn Beach
10 Lila Bennett

This beach is one of my top spots to take my dogs. The walk is easy and you can make it as short or long as you like. There's nothing quite like a sunny stroll on a gorgeous beach, especially when you can see lots of seals in the bay.

Cove Bay Beach
10 Sara Archibold

The steep inclines make it challenging for those with limited mobility. Is there an alternative entrance available? My husband and daughter enjoyed exploring the rock pools. Although the beach is petite, it is well-maintained. We observed a few individuals bodyboarding, showcasing some impressive waves.

Salmon Bothy

You can't go wrong by visiting this beach. It's located in Cullen, which is arguably one of the most picturesque fishing villages in Scotland.

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.
