Tentsmuir Sands is a large and scenic beach located in Scotland, offering a range of activities for visitors to enjoy. .
Tentsmuir Sands is a vast expanse of sandy beach backed by Tentsmuir Forest and an impressive range of sand-dunes. The beach is situated close to the mouth of the Tay Estuary and features a wide stretch of clean sands and grassy dunes.
The beach is popular with walkers, birdwatchers, and horse riders, but swimming is not recommended due to the presence of dangerous currents and shifting sandbars. Visitors can spot a variety of wildlife, including grey and common seals, eider ducks, and oystercatchers, while the forest is home to red squirrels. The beach is also suitable for collecting shells.
The beach and forest feature the remains of wartime defences, built by Polish troops during the Second World War. There are also several trails and cycle tracks in the forest for visitors to explore. To access the beach, visitors can take the A92 and follow the brown signs to Tentsmuir Forest and Beach. A public car park is available, with a £2 coin-operated barrier, and an information point providing details on local wildlife.
