Dunnet Bay is a huge 3 km sandy beach on the north coast of Scotland, between Thurso and John o'Groats. Facing due north towards the North Sea and Atlantic Ocean, it is one of the most northerly kitesurfing spots in the United Kingdom. The bay offers a spectacular setting with the cliffs of Dunnet Head (the northernmost point of mainland Britain) to the east. Quality waves and consistent wind.
