Sandy beach near the harbour with a traditional seaside feel.

Monifieth Beach
Quiet, clean beach ideal for walking, dog-walking, and birdwatching.

Carnoustie Beach
Near the famous golf course, this beach is great for strolls and watching kitesurfers.

Lunan Bay
One of the most beautiful beaches in Scotland; wide sands, dunes, and the ruins of Red Castle nearby.
