Great place for a stop over! Easy to book. Fresh water, bins, waste water and toilet water dump. Public toilets not far, payable by card and were really clean. Quiet spot with loads of walks, nice places to eat and right next to the sea!

We stopped here for the night and it was great, looking right over the sea with a gorgeous sunset and a distant splash of dolphins 🐬 It is beside the lovely pet cemetery which looks like a rockery and is very sweet with plaques of beloved pets The start of a coastal path is adjacent and although we didn’t walk too far it’s a walkers delight.. Water tap and chemical toilet only here.. Advised only 2 night stay only online Near enough to walk into Cullen Square for food, cafes, shops, beaches, the Viaduct beach close by too, perfect area for sight seeing

An excellent Aire situated just down from the harbour. Big spaces which would suit large motorhomes. Facilities include chemical and grey waste, water and general rubbish bin. The view out to sea is lovely and it’s about 10 minute walk into town but it’s up a steep hill. On the other side of the harbour is a burger wagon if you don’t want to go into town. The Aire is situated on the Moray path so you do get walkers going through but they tend to stick to the tarmac road which runs through the Aire. There is a nice beach on the other side of the harbour. There are toilets a short walk on the harbour but unfortunately the pay machine was out of order so could not be used. Booking is online and once paid you are sent an email with a code for the barrier.
