📌 Dornoch, Highland
★★★
Dornoch Beach is part of the expanse of sand stretching for several miles between the estuaries of Dornoch Firth and Loch Fleet. There’s direct road access from both Dornoch (half a mile east of the town centre) and Embo village, while other parts can be visited via an easy coastal stroll and receive few visitors. While the beach boasts sand in spades (probably literally), this isn’t really an ideal rockpooling location – though there are a few, mostly just south of Embo.
