Lossiemouth East Beach is a popular destination in Scotland, offering a long sandy beach, scenic views, and a range of activities for visitors to enjoy.

Lossiemouth East Beach is situated within Spey Bay, near the mouth of the River Lossie and Lossiemouth Harbour. The beach is a long, sandy stretch backed by grassy dunes, located approximately midway between Nairn and Banff. At low tide, the beach becomes a wide expanse of pale golden sand, making it an ideal spot for surfers, sunbathers, and picnickers.

The beach offers stunning views over Spey Bay, with the possibility of spotting wildlife such as osprey, seals, and dolphins. Visitors can enjoy good walks in the area, and the neighbouring town of Lossiemouth has a range of shops, places to eat, and a picturesque harbour. Access to the beach is via a wooden bridge over the River Lossie, which can be a fun challenge for children.

The town of Lossiemouth has a relatively mild climate due to its proximity to the Gulf Stream, and visitors can find a range of facilities, including food and shops. An RAF base is located nearby, and the sight and sound of aircraft flying overhead can add interest to a visit.

Lossiemouth East Beach is adjacent to the Moray Coast Trail.
