About
Shandwick Bay Beach, nestled in the Scottish Highlands near the villages of Shandwick and Balintore, is a hidden gem for dog owners. Its unspoiled sandy shores and gentle dunes offer a peaceful retreat.
Dog Access and Rules
Shandwick Bay Beach welcomes dogs throughout the year. While there are no specific restrictions, keeping your dog under control is essential, especially during the summer when the beach may be busier.
Things To See & Do
The large sandy beach and the dunes provide a natural playground for dogs to explore, and the rocky areas at both ends of the beach are great for rock pooling at low tides.
The nearby Balintore Harbour adds to the charm.
Access and Facilities
Access to Shandwick Bay Beach is straightforward. From the A9, turn onto the B9165 and follow the signs to Balintore. Ample parking is available at multiple places along the bay and beach. Public toilets are located at the north end by the harbour.
The village of Balintore offers additional facilities, including shops and cafes, where you can grab a bite or refreshment after your beach outing.
