Join us on a day trip to explore the best that the Angus coast can offer – beautiful beaches, sea bird colonies, coastal wildflowers, the chance of seeing dolphins and traditional seaside fare for lunch (vegetarian & vegan options are available).
Meeting at Monifieth train station at 10am, we visit a number of the best locations along the coast to spot wildlife and enjoy some of the most beautiful beaches in Scotland. Where we go depends on where the dolphins have recently been spotted – we are members of the Angus Cetacean Sightings Group so get regular updates – but it will be three or four of the following top wildlife sites – Monifieth Bay, Easthaven Beach, Seaton Cliffs and Auchmithie Beach, along with a lunch stop in a popular local cafe. Each stop involves a guided wildlife walk to spot birds, sea mammals, wildflowers and appreciate the beautiful scenery.
Our small groups of up to six people means that our tours are friendly, with plenty of opportunity to ask questions of your guide. Binoculars and a telescope are provided.We will stop off at a café for lunch, or you are welcome to bring a packed lunch. Remember water, sun hat & sun protection. Sturdy shoes for walking and waterproofs are also essential! We return to Monifieth train station between 4pm and 5pm.
