With the good weather set to return over the next week or two (we hope) it could be the perfect excuse to escape the bustling city or big town life and head to the seaside.
Scotland is blessed with over 11,600 miles of coastland and that means there are plenty of places to go to where you can enjoy the sights and sounds of the sea. From lengthy walks on the beach to fish tea for dinner it's a bit of a tradition and the ideal way to get out and see Scotland.
But where should you go for the best day out? We've picked out some incredible spots by the sea from colourful towns to picturesque villages where you should head when the weather is good.
