Season: spring
This wonderful beach has miles of golden sand. It runs north from Montrose to the mouth of the North Esk River. The southern end of the beach is now protected by a barrier of large rocks. A glorious day greeted me for this spring visit. Half a tide covered the beach, which sits just below the golf links. Fresh rocks had been added to the sea defences, a reminder that this can be a wild place. Today was benign, with locals and visitors enjoying the charms of being on the beach and by the sea. Montrose is well worth a visit at any time of the year, with plenty of facilities nearby and superb coastal walks to enjoy in both directions.
The joy of living near the beach for Suzanne.
A bright day at Montrose.
Can be windy, can be cold, but there’s not a better place to feel alive. Unless it’s raining. And then sitting in the car with a flask of tea is nicer.
