Carrick Beach

Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland

Excellent annual water quality rating

A relatively small sandy beach that lies within Fleet Bay on the south coast of Dumfries and Galloway. The bay is about 700 metres long and 800 metres wide at the widest point. It is littered with sharp rocky outcrops. It lies within 10 km of Kirkcudbright and Gatehouse of Fleet. This idyllic stretch of beach offers spectacular views of the Isles of Fleet and on a clear day the Isle of Man can be seen in the distance. Mud flats are exposed at low tide making the waters edge difficult to access in certain areas.

Water quality is classified as "Sufficient" based on samples taken from the previous 4 years, 2021 through to 2024.
