Portgordon plages

This small beach is truly beautiful, especially on the lovely day I visited. I was walking from Portnockie to Findochty along the Moray Coast when this beach came into view. There's a nice bench further along where you can sit and enjoy the sea views. Like most Scottish beaches, we didn't encounter anyone else as we walked. It's a fantastic spot for the whole family.

The beach is just alright, nothing particularly special about it. The water isn't very clean and has a strange odor, so I wouldn't suggest swimming. It's a good place for a quick stop and is very quiet if that's what you're looking for, but there are definitely more interesting places nearby. On the plus side, there's plenty of free parking available.
