About This Place

Westhaven is a small, sandy beach on the western edge of the town of Carnoustie. The beach is surrounded by rocks, which protect it from the strongest currents, making it a good place for bathing in the relatively shallow water. --> Naturally, there are many rock pools in the area and exploring these for signs of marine wildlife can be an activity for all of the family to enjoy. Boating is also popular in the area. There is a small car park at the end of East Row, a short walk from the beach. Further parking can be found in the centre of Carnoustie, about half a mile from the beach, as can many other amenities including shops, places to eat, and places to stay. There is also a railway station with regular services to Dundee. Carnoustie was once a very popular tourist destination, before somewhat declining as cheaper international holidays became available. However, it has successfully reinvented itself as a golf resort.
