Dunnet Bay is a magnificent 3.2 km/2 mi beach, laid next to Castletown town. This is a famous destination in Northern Scotland. When weather condition is right, the spot can produce one of the best kite surfing experience in UK, with a 150 days duration per year! The best period for visiting is from April to October, but be aware that during summer, it can get very busy and that could ruin you day.
The beach is formed by white sand and that gives a more exotic feeling. But don’t get overexcited, as at low tide rocks are rising from the sea, so be careful. Wind is usually blowing from the south, but if you want to have a good surfing day, then always check the forecast and try to visit while it is north-northwesterly. At that time, you can start working your surf at less than 1 m/3 ft going right to 2.5 m/8 ft. The waves tend to be both left and right beach breakers, being hollow and not too fast. That’s great news for beginners, given that the spot can give a 300 m/984 ft long riding distance.
Dunnet bay is an organized beach with public toilets and many picnic kiosks, if you are family visiting. You can also meet a visitor information center and many restaurants and hotels around the area and in Castletown city.

The huge benefit of stand up paddle surfing over regular surfing is that much smaller less steep waves are catchable before they break, and as the boards are much more stable it is easier to pick up. Additionally, as you start in a standing position, there is no popping up onto the SUP, while the paddle can be used for extra stability and drive on the wave.
