St Cyrus Beach
Only a few miles down the coast from Johnshaven! Well worth a visit.
Part of St Cyrus National Nature Reserve (NNR), this sandy beach is located midway between Aberdeen and Dundee on the eastern coast of Scotland.
St Cyrus Beach runs for 3 miles, from the small village of St Cyrus to the mouth of the North Esk River. Admire magnificent cliffs and sand dunes as you stroll along this beautiful expanse of sand, which is accessible either from the cliff path or from the St Cyrus NNR Visitor Centre (signposted off the A92).
Located adjacent to the beach, St Cyrus NNR is a wonderful place to spot birds and butterflies. Facilities include car parking, toilets and a visitor centre.
