About Whitesands Bay
Looking for a great sandy dog friendly beach in South Scotland? Whitesands Bay is a great spot for a seaside side and to get some fresh sea air.
The beach is usually quite quiet, so it’s a great spot to go for a peaceful and relaxing family walk. If you visit in low tide too, a series of rock pools can be found, so mini adventures will love peeking in and seeing how many creatures they can spot.
- Long sandy beach
- Dogs allowed all year
- Great for going for a paddle
