Beaches & nature

Nestled in south Aberdeenshire, St Cyrus is renowned for its sweeping golden beach and dramatic volcanic cliffs. Its shoreline was recently named one of the UK’s best beaches by Condé Nast Traveller, and the village was recognised in 2025 for its exceptional natural beauty and conservation work.

Wildlife & conservation

The St Cyrus National Nature Reserve is one of Britain’s richest, home to rare plants, butterflies and birds. From the shore, look out for dolphins, porpoises and whales offshore, or seals basking in the shallows.

Peaceful escape

Whether you’re walking the coastal trails, exploring the dunes or simply taking in the sea air, St Cyrus offers an unforgettable connection to nature on Aberdeenshire’s wild southern coast.
