The coastline and settlements of Moray are linked by a waymarked coastal trail from Forres to Findhorn, Cullen and all the places between.

With its 50 miles of marvellous landscapes from rugged cliffs, caves and sheltered coves to fishertown harbours and sweeping stretches of sand, Moray has a coastline alive with wildlife that would be the envy of many other regions in Britain. Many visitors are drawn by the resident bottlenose dolphin population, or to watch birds by the sea.

Shifting shingle shores at Spey Bay, the tidal flats of Findhorn Bay Local Nature Reserve and Lossie river mouth all provide sheltered waters and fast food for a vast array of wildfowl and waders.

Lossiemouth, a Victorian spa town and fishing port, once had lead and silver mines. Its harbour is now a marina. RAF Lossiemouth is a base for Tornado aircraft. The 18th century salmon-curing factory at Kingston is home to the Spey Bay Wildlife Centre. The firth’s resident bottlenose dolphins are studied from here.
