Located in East Caithness, Scotland, Sinclairs Bay is a fun beach break that offers up good performance waves. The waves here are easy to surf and break for up to 50 meters over a sand bottom. You can see it when it’s pumping from the nearby A9 road. There’s a river mouth that creates well-formed banks in the middle of the beach. Find shelter from winds to the south of the beach.
