The beach is lovely for walking you pet dog, but not cats because cats do not like water. The…read morepeople that you meet here are extremely kind to you. But there is one thing I have to complain about, there is no where to plug in your Xbox series x at the beach, and an other thing, there is no super fast B-road band Wi-Fi. Other than these minor problems that I will be complaining to the council about. My sad sister has no where to play Roblox when the tide comes in or she will be washed away. I love this beach because it has sand and salt water. I hate when the ocean has fresh water. I love this beach because it has a park close to it and it's really nice to have a picnic at. If anyone is visiting Scotland I recommend this local beauty, one more thing, there is lots of ice cream shops nearby!

We were staying in lovely Hopeman for two nights. One of the best thing in the village surely is…read morethe great beach just down at the harbour (eastbound). It's a wonderful stretch of sand with nice dunes backing it up. There are trails leading along the beach and dunes and offer great views. Sometimes they are a bit narrow, so it might not fit everybody. The beach - depending on the tide - is pretty wide and has nice rock formations, very unique. We did walk along East Beach for a while and really enjoyed the walk and the views. Some benches are on the way too. We were surprised that this beach was so empty - even in summer. There were only one or two couples walking along. That's it. But good for us - so our doggy could run free and really enjoy the beach too (it is officially dog friendly). Depending on the weather the beach looks very different. Sunny - at dusk - cloudy. All different - but all amazing (check the pics). Be sure not to miss out on this beach when you are in the area.

The Roseisle forest carpark is in the centre of the most beautiful forestry managed woodland. The…read morelarge car park is next a clean toilet block(seasonal) and information board. This property is perfectly planned for recreational use. Next to the car park is a section to be used for picnics with wooden tables and benches and space for barbeques (bring your own). Past the picnic area is a path leading through sand dunes to the stunning beach,miles of sand and long views along to Burghead Within the woodland itself are clearly marked and graded walks and if you want to you could safely walk for miles and not get lost. Horses use many of the wider paths and it is heaven for dog walkers with waste bins for doggie doo (please do use them) During the summer season there is a parking charge of £1 per use but if like me you are a regular user a season ticket can be bought at Elgin Library costing £10. Oct to April there is no charge.
