The award winning sandy beaches of the fresh water loch are surrounded by the Highland landscape of the Cairngorms.

From summer to winter, this lake offers plenty of outdoor activities. There is a great water sports center to enjoy the fresh water and a well-established network of paths to explore the shores.

The sandy beaches of Loch Morlich contrast the snowy mountains of the Cairngorms – truly a unique sight to see.
