Lossiemouth East Beach - beautiful sandy beach, surfing destination and scenic coastal attraction on the Moray Firth.
Lossiemouth East Beach is one of Moray's most striking coastal locations, with a long stretch of sand lying between the dark waters of the River Lossie and the clear waters of the Moray Firth. The contrast between river, beach and sea creates a particularly impressive landscape, with wonderful views available from Prospect Terrace above the shoreline. Early mornings can be especially beautiful, particularly during winter when the low sunlight illuminates the river and surrounding coastline.
The beach is also one of the relatively few established surfing locations north of Aberdeen, attracting surfers to this part of the Moray coast. A local surf school provides equipment and lessons for those wanting to experience the waves, while the expansive sandy beach is equally appealing for walking, enjoying the fresh sea air and simply taking in the coastal scenery. The surrounding Moray Firth is also renowned for its marine and coastal wildlife, adding another dimension to a visit.
Pedestrian access to East Beach is provided via the bridge connecting Lossiemouth with the beach, making it easy to combine a visit with time exploring the town and waterfront. Free parking is available at Gregory Place car park, while the elevated viewpoint from Prospect Terrace is well worth visiting for a wider view across the River Lossie, beach and Moray Firth. Whether visiting for surfing, photography, a coastal walk or simply to enjoy the scenery, East Beach is a memorable part of Lossiemouth's coastline.
