Season: summer
An extended spell of fine weather continued for this summer visit. Lunan Bay was bathed in bright sunshine, with blue skies above. The tide was low and the beach was being worked by a salmon netter, whom I interviewed. This activity has been taking place on Lunan Bay for hundreds of years, due to the presence of salmon rivers at either end of this wide, flat beach.

Season: spring
This outstanding beach is unspoilt, undeveloped and beautifully positioned, well away from busy everyday lives. It features a castle, sand dunes and cliffs at one end. During this visit, snow lay still on the beach and on the dunes, framing the arc of the bay. This is a haven of tranquility, a throwback to simpler times, with salmon stake nets still deployed in the season. This is a beach on which to recharge your batteries, a real tonic.
A changing relationship with the ever changing beach.

Nice idea! I recently rescued a stingray on Lunan Bay 🙂
I love the Angus coastline because there is often no-one there; at Lunan Bay the sand is like the Bahamas; it’s your private beach There are caves to explore, shells to pick up and sand dunes to slide on. Everything the children and I do! There is a rock the shape of an elephant you will find nowhere else! And there is St Cyrus beach too, again it too sounds like the Bahamas and it’s absolutely stunning. The beach behind the links at Montrose is special too; in short, something for everyone.
