Newburgh Seal Beach
Local highlightFancy seeing seals up close? At Newburgh, a spit of sand at the mouth of the River Ythan faces a sandbank where hundreds of grey and common seals haul out to rest. From the Newburgh side you can watch them across the channel without disturbing them — don’t try to cross to the sandbank, as it unsettles the colony. Forvie reserve stretches along the far shore.
