Lunan Bay is a beautiful beach of sand backed by dunes and surrounded by low cliffs to the north and south. It is large inlet of the North Sea on the Angus coast and is situated to the south of Montrose between Boddin Point and Lang Craig. Lunan Water enters the bay near the village of Lunan. The beach is beautiful and is a great location to visit to relax and unwind. Swimmers and surfing need to take great care due to the strong currents in the area.
