The North Sea wind carries salt and the calls of oystercatchers right across this pitch — you're just back from one of Scotland's most beautiful sweeps of sand, a mile and a half of pale gold backed by dunes.

This is a straightforward site for caravans and campervans, with electric hook-ups available if you need them. It suits couples chasing a quiet coastal escape, families who want beach days without the fuss, and anyone drawn to Angus's dramatic coastline — Arbroath's smokies and the cliffs at Seaton are close enough for day trips. Dogs are welcome with prior arrangement, so worth checking when you book if you're bringing yours.

The setup is uncomplicated: level pitches, electricity if required, and you'll need to ask about campfires on arrival. The vibe is low-key and unpretentious — this is about the beach, the big skies, and the kind of Scottish coastal scenery that makes you want to walk for miles then hunker down with a flask.
