Dhoon Beach remains one of Dumfries and Galloway's best-kept secrets, a pristine stretch of sand nestled between rocky outcrops near Dalbeattie. Accessible only by foot through coastal woodland, this secluded beach rewards visitors with unspoiled natural beauty and tranquil surroundings. The sheltered bay offers calm waters perfect for swimming and kayaking, while the surrounding cliffs provide excellent opportunities for rock climbing and coastal photography. The beach's remote location means it rarely gets crowded, making it an ideal retreat for those seeking peace and solitude. Wildlife enthusiasts will appreciate the diverse bird life and occasional seal sightings in the clear waters.
