Location
Once in the small village of Catterline you pass through the entrance ramp for the Creel Inn (great for steaks and seafood) on your left, you drive on past there and veer left and downwards towards the sea. Once there, the parkign area and access to the sea are obvious. Just a couple of miles North of Catterline is a Nature Reserve, where many varieties of birds may be found including dozens of puffins.
Looking seaward from the pier, an island can be observed at high water but at low water its just part of the adjoining mainland. Throughout the year a fairly large population of seals take up residence on the island. You can usually see them swimming between the pier and the island or just lying on the North East side of the island basking in the sun.
