Established as a port by the Vikings in the 900s. During WWII, defensive anti-tank blocks were installed along the esplanade. During the Cold War, the area hosted the strategic US Navy Communications Station Thurso (1962–1992) at nearby Forss and West Murkle, utilising massive antenna arrays to relay command signals to nuclear submarines in the North Atlantic.
Public access is open. Pedestrians can access the sand via short steps or a pram-friendly western ramp from the promenade. Motor vehicles cannot drive onto the beach itself but can access the adjacent roads.
