A good place for those who like to be solitary- you can look out over clean washed sands to Dunnet Head, the northernmost point of the mainland of Britain. Climb Dunnet Head for magnificent views over the Pentland Firth to Orkney and a great part of the north coast to Ben Loyal and Ben Hope. Take a day trip over to Orkney from John O’Groats or Scrabster, and island-hop the string of islands by boat and coach.

Dunnet Bay is perfect for those days when Thurso is for hellmen only. The water here is exceptionally clear and the beach does have a lifeguard hut although presumably only in peak season. Click here for a guide to NE Scotland’s best breaks.
