Findhorn Bay Local Nature Reserve

Forres IV36 3TD, UK

Findhorn Bay is by the picturesque seaside village Findhorn.


There are a few cafes and pubs along the bay and the beach extends all the way to Lossiemouth, so there is a lot of beach.


Sometimes seals are seen at the mouth of the estuary - please enjoy looking at them, but do not approach them.


Culbin Forrest is on the other side of the bay and has an interesting history in that the local village was buried by a great sandstorm, with only a chimney that can still be seen. It is a huge forest with dog and cycle trails throughout

Whale and dolphin watching

Several companies offering whale and dolphin watching services in the nearby area and further out in the Highlands and Isles

Whisky distillery

If you are into whisky, then this is the right place for you. There are over 115 whisky distilleries in Scotland and you’ll find over 50 of them in Moray.


You can also book whisky tours with local companies, taking you to several distilleries and sorting out the transport for you (the drink driving limit is much stricter in Scotland)
