Scottish SUP Guide - Number Twelve - Nairn

Matt Gambles • 13 April 2020

Nairn

Nairn in Moray is a lovely seaside town in the county of Moray, fairly near to the Highland capital of Inverness. It offers plenty of facilities including cafes, shops, campsites and hotels, with lovely beachside parks to relax in.

Nairn has miles and miles of sandy beach to paddle alongside, going both east and west from the Harbour. The views from the water are spectacular, looking across the Moray Firth to the Black Isle and the Caithness coast beyond. The chances of seeing a pod of inquistive, playful Dolphins is fairly high and definitely a big draw to the area. Another is the claim that Nairn has to be the sunniest place in mainland Scotland.

At the centre of it all is Nairn Harbour, which is a great place to find your balance in flat, still water, exploring the moored boats, before paddling into the lower River Nairn, which leads down onto the Moray Firth itself. If the weather is against you, then the Harbour means that you can still get out for a paddle in sheltered conditions.
