Sand and rock beach west of Hopeman harbour on the Moray coast; small pieces of sea glass collect behind the big rocks towards Burghead.
About Lossiemouth West Beach
Lossiemouth's West Beach runs from the harbour towards Covesea lighthouse on the Moray Firth. The old fishing port is named in Scottish sea glass guides, and collectors report finding a steady supply of well-rounded glass here over a few days' searching. The rocky coast further west towards Covesea and Hopeman also produces occasional pieces.
Sea glass at Lossiemouth West Beach
Frosted white, pale clear turquoise, pale and olive green, milky green and a few clear pieces, almost all well rounded; one visitor found about 75 pieces in three days. Best after a high tide.
Visiting Lossiemouth West Beach
- Safety
- Check the tide times before you go and head out on a falling tide, so you're never cut off. Keep away from the bottom of cliffs, wear sturdy shoes on rocks, and only take sea glass and other man-made rubbish: pebbles, sand and shells should stay on the beach.
