About This Place

This lovely sandy beach backed by low sand dunes and fields is set on the remote north east coast of Scotland. This whole section of the Sutherland coast is one big stretch of golden sands. What makes Crakaig stand out from the rest of the coast is the fact is a designated, official naturist beach. --> This makes Crakaig mainland Scotland’s only official nudist beach (or at least parts of it). The naturist part of the beach is to the west of Lothbeg Point - from the river mouth, up to the rocky outcrop near the point. By the river there is a pool big enough to swim in.The owner of the beach also runs the campsite behind. Whilst this isn’t a naturist camp there have been special naturist weeks in June.

💡 Our Take

Crakaig Beach, nestled along North Coast, offers a wonderful dog-friendly escape, being open to pups year-round! While information is limited, its sandy expanse is perfect for zoomies and digging. Parking availability appears straightforward. Remember to bring your own water and clean-up bags as we have no information on nearby facilities. Generally, calmer waters make it suitable for confident swimmers. However, always be mindful of currents if you plan to let your dog swim. Crakaig Beach is a fantastic choice for dogs of all sizes, especially those who are well-socialized and enjoy open spaces. It can provide a relaxing safe space for the dogs.
