About

Tentsmuir National Nature Reserve is a wonderful combination of sea, beach, dunes and forest, with trails winding through the trees to the stunning expanse of sand at the mouth of the Tay Estuary. Look out for red squirrels in the sunlight-dappled woods, otters frolicking in burns, oyster catchers strutting across the sand and seals congregating on mudflats, watching visiting humans with great interest!  

Tentsmuir’s history is as fascinating as its wildlife. Tentsmuir has been inhabited for thousands of years and the ever-shifting sands regularly reveal evidence of former residents, including Stone Age fire pits, Victorian ice houses and World War 2 tank defences.  Take a picnic – or take advantage of Salt and Pine’s selection of crepes, salads and hand-warming hot drinks.
