The long sandy beach at Cullen is within walking distance. The 18 hole golf course in Cullen is open to visitors.
Portknockie is a good base for visiting local places of interest, and some further away, including the Malt Whisky Trail, Lossiemouth, Loch Ness, Inverness, and many more. We have provided much more information, including Ordnance Survey maps, in the cottage.
