The spot

Very reliable spot right on the north coast. Due to the angle of the beach, the waves are much more beginner friendly than nearby Thurso. The northern car park (connected to the motorhome campsite) is a popular spot for this break, which is also where North Coast Watersports operate rentals and the surf school from.
