Rockcliffe Beach — Attraction in Scotland

I recently visited this beautiful beach, and while it might not have endless stretches of golden sand, there’s still enough to build a sandcastle if you’re up for the challenge.

I think I'd have been able to access it in my powerchair though.

Still gave 5 stars, for the sheer beauty of the place, but accessibility needs...

Actually we should not spread the word and keep the secret about this little cosy beach... You can sit on sand, gravel, grassy podests, and wooden benches from the local community. All the freedom and peace you could imagine. Pratically you might want to coordonate two things: the tide and the icecream van. Both are not there alltimes... Icecream with great choices rembering the eighties and the nineties is available in the afternoon. Highwater: check the internet or ask the locals, they are very friendly and communicative! How to recognise them? Almost everybody is one, in a broader sense, as even visitors mostly have a longterm relation...
