The Scottish seaside village with sandy beach and 'perfect' takeaway
Findhorn is a seaside village nestled along the eastern shore of Findhorn Bay overlooking the Moray Firth. Once an important commercial and fishing port, it is today a quiet and picturesque spot for a staycation.
The village is perhaps best known for the stunning Findhorn Beach, which is among the most renowned beaches in Moray. It consists of an unspoilt stretch of sand that is covered at high tide, leaving a pebbly section at the top exposed.
Findhorn Beach is a popular destination for water sports, while sailing dinghies are also frequently seen in the water. There is also no shortage of breathtaking walks around and near the beach, with awe-inspiring views out over the Moray Firth.
Meanwhile, Findhorn Beach is known for its colourful beach huts that line the bay. Some of the brightly painted huts can even be rented out.
Elsewhere, Findhorn also has plenty of tasty food spots to suit all tastes. Whether you are looking for a three-course meal or a tasty takeaway, you are spoilt for choice.
One of the top venues around the village is the Kimberley Inn, which features a terrace where customers can soak in some sun while enjoying a refreshing drink. The inn also serves up a range of seafood and meat dishes.
Another popular eatery in the area is La Bohéme, which is a takeaway specialising in pizzas. Customers can also enjoy various salads, panini, and desserts.
See below for a few photos showing some of Findhorn's highlights. For more travel inspiration, find a selection of our past Towns and Villages of the Week here:

Keir Starmer cuts off Donald Trump after Scotland trade deal comment
Speaking at a press conference after a meeting between the two leaders at the US president's golf course in Ayrshire, Trump was asked about the UK-US trade deal and the potential [[benefits]] for Scotland. A journalist asked: 'Because of your love of Scotland, is there a better trade deal to be done for Scottish businesses like whisky?' He then said: 'Well, I assume when we do our trade deal overall, a lot of it comes to Scotland. 'I hope maybe all of it should go to Scotland.' The Prime Minister then interrupted, saying: 'It's a very good deal for the whole United Kingdom and we have already achieved great things on the deal and we'll achieve even more as we work together.' Trump was also asked about the trade deal and its impact on Scotland ahead of the meeting, which led him to claim he has a 'great love' for the country and that he wants Scotland to "thrive". Pointing to the fact that his mother, Mary Anne, was born there, he said she would return to her homeland 'once a year' for a visit. He later added: 'So yeah, it gives me a feeling, you know it's different, you go to another country, you have no relationship to it … but it's different when your mother was born here.' Pushed again on whether that could mean a different deal for products such as whisky, Trump added: 'I was very particular, this is a part of the world I want to see thrive. It's going to thrive.' The meeting between the leaders comes as part of Trump's five-day-long private trip to Scotland. Afterwards, they will travel on together for a further private engagement in Aberdeen.
