This stunning beach is worth a visit even amidst the cold snap
There's no denying that so far spring hasn't been quite what we thought, with snow blanketing much of the country and temperatures plunging below zero.
While the beach might not be the first place you think of heading during a cold snap, the Scotland's stunning coastline has a unique wild beauty in wintry weather that makes it perfect for a day out. Approximately one kilometre long, the bay is popular amongst tourists during the summer—with up to 1,000 visitors a day during peak season—while it is quieter during the colder months.
The dunes and grassland that is found inland from the shore provide a habitat for a number of plant and animal species as well. There are also plenty of spots to take stunning photos of the North Sea.
