Rosehearty plages

This beach holds a special place in my heart. I used to walk along its shores every day as a child. Years later, I returned and it still remains as beautiful as ever. The long stretch of golden sands, dunes, and crashing waves are truly breathtaking. The amenities such as the cafe, changing rooms, clean toilets, and surfboard school make it even more enjoyable. It truly is a magical place.

What a beautiful day it was today, and the place was almost empty! The car park can accommodate around a dozen cars, and there's no fee required. You can head straight down to the beach, but if you take the upward path on the left, you'll pass by Hells Lum, a collapsed sea cave. Continuing along this path over the boulder remains of Fort Fiddes, you'll eventually reach a stony beach. If you cross the 'river' to the other side, you can enter Hells Lum, but only attempt this if the weather has been dry for a week, as the cliffside path can become muddy, slippery, and dangerous. If you drive further down the road and turn into the Mill, you can park at Cullykhan Bay, where there are picnic tables. However, note that this beach is pebbly, not sandy.
