While the village of Lossiemouth is perhaps most famous for the enormous military air-force base which lies on its outskirts, those in the know flock there during the summer months to enjoy the gorgeous stretch of golden beach that runs along the village’s eastern side. The east beach has become something of a mecca for both wildlife enthusiasts and surfers, with the former enjoying the sights of pods of bottlenose dolphins that can be regularly seen swimming in the sea around the area, and the latter enjoying water sports thanks to the powerful waves brought towards the beach by strong northern winds.
