Yup....£1 per hour.....cash or credit card.....both were working when I was there....about 30 parking places so come at least one hour before everyone else...lol

Went 2 days in a row....be there at LOW TIDE time for the area. That allows you to get a space ( maybe ) , and see the dolphins come in with the incoming tide ( about 1 hour after LOW TIDE ). Saw about 3/4 on the first day and about a dozen on the second.

there's not a path as such. Other than the standard road and pavement scenario, the final road leading to the point is through the golf course. This road has several sleeping policemen throughout its length and has shirt cropped grass edges. In my opinion the route is push chair friendly.

No charge for parking all free and lovely views regards

I suppose you could use a disposable one on the little beach here but make sure to extinguish it before you leave and remove all rubbish.

Tides can help and you can look them up on line tides4fishing Though we have seen dolphins there at all sorts of times, Note there is a good fish and chip in Fortrose McGinty's and benches make a great area to enjoy them in the weather allows.

You need to get a bus 26a 26 c maybe others, from inverness, final destination could be Cromarty. get off in the small village /town of Fortrose by Anderson pub. walk on further 200 yards , pausing at the coop shop for refreshments, walk on 50 yards or so see signpost pointing to right to the Point and golfcourse. Take the right Ness road and follow all way down. through golf course to end. dolphins on left if present. let us know what you see. ideally 3 hours after low tide to 2 hours before high tide, take binoculars and warm clothes No toilets at the end.,

The dolphins are resident so can be seen all year round. As with all sea fishing the best time is at the start of the flood tide, when the incoming tide sweeps in with fresh plankton and small fish, which the bigger fish eat, which get eaten by Salmon, which is what the dolphins like....

We were there in August and one evening there were dolphins everywhere. 2 days later however, nothing! I advise being patient and taking hot drinks (plenty of them), chairs and warm clothes! I think all year round is possible but it's best as the tide is coming in. There's more advice online if you key in moray dolphins. Good luck!
