I've loved Nairn beach since I was a toddler, we always came for holidays here from the hugely distant Inverness (only 15 miles away, but to us as kids it was a world away). Now I've got the great privilege to live in Nairn and the beach is the most tranquil, beautiful place I know. I'm a dog owner and... More

Seriously - if you could imagine the perfect beach, this would be it... When the tide goes out, the expanse is just amazing..

The title says it all, miles of Golden sand one way, great rock pools the other way, always glorious weather (O.K I made that bit up. The Links has brilliant grassy areas and a ample play park with tea room / snack shop.

Lovely long sandy beach. Next to large caravan park, and used by many dog walkers. Would be lovely in summer months.
