St. Cyrus beach is also a nature reserve, as it’s home to over 70 species of birds, as well as as other flora, fauna & insects - (and there’s also the possibility of spotting ???? and seals in the water.) The stretch of golden sand is around 3 miles, backed by grassy dunes, with red granite cliffs towering in the background. You can access it from the turn off at the North Esk bridge where there is a fair sized car park, and a long wooden walkway to the beach. However, as the views are so spectacular from St. Cyrus cliff top , it’s worthwhile to take in the views from there. If you are physically able you can also use two steep cliff paths to walk down to the beach ( I personally find the northern one easier)and just take time and care to to both ascend/descend. It is well worth it (and I’m lazy!) & takes approximately 10/15 minutes. There are rock pools, rocky outcrops and sand dunes to explore, and a pretty waterfall at the northern end. The beach is also littered with characterful driftwood & flotsam & jetsam. It is a photographer’s dream - especially at dawn & sunset.

The North Water Viaduct was built on the disused railway over the A92 road and River North Esk and is really a great picture opportunity either from the ground looking up or from the bridge.

Wow, what a treasure! Well worth going a look, but take care...high risk of falling if not careful. Not a place I’d bring young kids.
