There is car parking and picnic tables at the back of the beach and a lovely kiddies playground at the side of the caravan site with sweeping views up the Dornoch Firth, to the south across to the lighthouse at Tarbet Ness above Portmahomack and over to the Moray coast.
The water is shallow for a long way out, making it a pretty safe beach for swimming and playing around with lots of shells on the beach.
