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.
