About the spot

Findhorn Bay is a tidal estuary on the Moray Firth. The regional mobile kite school uses the area according to wind and water level; shallow bay sections contrast with flowing channels.

Assess the harbour mouth separately. Arrange a first visit with a local operator to account for wildlife, boat traffic and the appropriate launch.
