Quiet firth-side village

A peaceful former fishing village on the firth, seals hauled out on the rocks and long views across the water.

Local walks

The routes worth knowing — from a flat riverside hour to the glen behind the town.

The riverside path, Portgordon

3.2 km Easy Free parking Dog-friendly

An easy hour along the water from the centre of Portgordon — flat, pram-friendly, and quiet by mid-morning. The light is best an hour after sunrise.

The glen & waterfall loop

6.8 km Moderate Lay-by On lead (livestock)

A steeper woodland circuit up into the glen, finishing at a hidden fall that runs gold after rain. Boots in winter; worth it in any season.

By the water

Beaches & coast

Where the firth meets the sand — and the dolphins put on a show.

The east sands

Sand & rock Flat Harbour car park Year-round

A long, clean stretch east of Portgordon — rock pools at the far end, dunes behind, and dolphins offshore on a calm day. Big enough to feel like your own.

Coastal path to the next village

4.5 km Easy Street Dog-friendly

Follow the cliff path along the firth past old salmon bothies and sea caves. Benches at every viewpoint; an ice cream at the other end.
