点评:When driving along the coast in the very North here you will pass this stunning beach.
We stayed in nearby Thurso and been here before - but that's 10 years ago. So this time we came back to spend a late afternoon here.
Best to park at the Caravan & Motorhome Campsite at the northern end. It's a public carpark with fair parking fees and just steps away from the beach. Also free public toilets here. It was a picture perfect sunny day and we didn't have any problems finding a spot.
The beach itself is very wide and over two miles long! It's a very pretty, very clean beach with wonderful soft sand. There were maybe around 20-30 visitors on the beach that day - and that was suprising. We thought - after 10 years - that it got a lot more popular. But nice to still have to beach almost to yourself!
Since it's that long and wide, it really feels like you're on your own here. People sunbathing, playing, running, walking. And having fun with their dogs (free to roam). The space is so big, nobody is bothered and it feel really free here. It was nice to just stroll up and down the beach, enjoying the sun and the ocean views. The peace and quiet up here in the north.
There is a pretty high number of stranded jellyfish though in summer. So if you're here with your small kids or dog, keep your eyes open.
It's really a picture-perfect beach here. And not to be missed when around the area.
翻译:沿着海岸线一路向北行驶,你会经过这片迷人的海滩。
我们之前住在附近的瑟索,也来过这里——不过那是十年前的事了。所以这次我们特意回来,想在这里度过一个悠闲的下午。
最好把车停在北端的房车营地。这是一个公共停车场,收费合理,而且离海滩只有几步之遥。这里还有免费的公共厕所。那天阳光灿烂,景色如画,我们很轻松地就找到了停车位。
海滩本身非常宽阔,超过两英里长!它非常漂亮,非常干净,沙子柔软细腻。那天海滩上大概只有二三十个游客——这让我们很惊讶。我们原本以为,十年过去了,这里会变得非常热门。不过,能几乎独享这片海滩的感觉真好!
因为海滩又长又宽,所以真的感觉像是在和自己独处。人们有的在晒日光浴,有的在玩耍,有的在跑步,有的在散步。他们带着狗狗们在沙滩上玩耍(狗狗可以自由奔跑)。这里空间很大,没有人会打扰到别人,感觉非常自由自在。沿着沙滩漫步,享受阳光和海景,真是惬意无比。北部的这片区域宁静祥和。
不过,夏季这里搁浅的水母数量相当多。所以,如果你带着小孩或狗狗来,一定要多加留意。
这真是一个风景如画的海滩。如果你在附近,千万不要错过。
