About Reay

Reay perches on Caithness's wild northern coast, about 12 miles west of Thurso via the scenic A99. This remote village sits amongst dramatic clifftops where Atlantic swells meet sandy bays, serving both North Coast 500 tourists and locals accessing nearby Dounreay. The A9 from the south and A836 from the west provide the main routes, with approximately 4 EV charging points available locally. Sandside Bay stretches for miles beside the village, offering some of Scotland's finest northern surfing breaks.
