Lossiemouth to Spey Bay Walk
This walk follows a section of the Moray Coast Trail from Lossiemouth to the Spey Bay Nature Reserve in Kingston on Spey.
The route runs for just under 8 miles along a fairly flat coastal path.
The walk starts at Lossimouth Harbour Marina and heads south to cross over the River Lossie to the beach at Seatown. You then head south east along the beach, passing the sand dunes and Boar's Head Rock. You continue south east to finish at Spey Bay where you will find a wildlife rich nature reserve. The reserve notably includes the largest shingle beach in Scotland and a range of other habitats such as coastal grasslands, brackish saltmarsh and wet woodland. It's a great place to look out for wildfowl and dolphins with butterflies common around the pretty wildflowers in the summer months.
On the eastern side of the reserve you can pick up the long distance Speyside Way and enjoy a walk or cycle along the River Spey. To the west the trail continues to Hopeman and Burghead.
