The magnificence of Lunan Bay is in its abundance of natural attractions.
This Angus destination, located about three miles south of Montrose, has a spacious and clean sandy two-mile-long beach that delivers privacy regardless of the increasing numbers flocking there on warm days.
It is backed by sand dunes stacked in valleys as deep as 15 metres in places, giving children (and adults!) the chance for some sand sledding fun.
Lunan Bay is framed by low cliffs that afford shelter, a spectacle and a setting for a glorious three-hour walk that takes in the ruins of the historic Red Castle.
