Swim, explore, or cycle along miles of sandy beaches

Escape from the hustle & bustle of city life to the peace and quiet of this seaside village. Dornoch is a step back in time to the traditional family holiday. Children can explore this natural environment in safety.

Dornoch has one of the finest beaches in the country and works hard to maintain the European Blue Flag status, confirming that is is clean and safe.

There is ample parking at the beach with adjacent children's play area and picnic tables.

Make the sandcastle of your dreams, explore the rock pools, paddle, swim or jump the waves in the clear clean refreshing sea water. Swimming pools are also available at Golspie, Embo and Tain.

Breathe the fresh air and admire the wildlife on our miles of sandy beaches. Walk to Embo by the coast and back over the disused railway line, now transformed into a footpath.

Cycle on our quiet country roads. Visit the Lochans (1 mile from the centre of town) to enjoy fishing (fly or bait) and pitch 'n putt.
