About This Place

Lunan Bay is a mile-long sandy beach, with a reputation as one of the best in Angus.  It is set in a secluded, pretty, rural location, with a cave and arch at the northern end, and is divided in two by Lunan Water, backed by sand dunes. --> The beach is particularly popular for swimming as well as watersports, fishing, horse riding, and peaceful walks in a natural setting. It is also an excellent place to search for gemstones, and is overlooked by the historic ruins of Red Castle. A number of other historic sites and castles scatter the surrounding countryside, within walking distance of the beach. Parking can be found behind the northern end of the beach, which is accessed via a path over the sand dunes. A cafe can also be found at the beach. The nearest town from the beach is Montrose, a few miles to the north, where further facilities such as shops, restaurants and places to stay can be found.

💡 Our Take

DogParkUK recommends Lunan Bay, nestled on Scotland's Angus coastline, as a fantastic beach destination for your furry friend. This expansive sandy paradise permits dogs year-round, making it perfect for bounding puppies and adventurous big dogs alike. With fine golden sand underfoot, it's ideal for play and exploration. Although parking is readily available, facilities are a short drive away, so be sure to pack essentials. Keep an eye on the tide as swimming can be unpredictable due to the currents. This tranquil beach, with stunning views and ample space, offers a joyful escape for your dog's day out.
