Stunning scenery
Thornwick Bay is perfectly perched at a clifftop summit overlooking the North Sea. You'll have direct access to a beach within these magnificent natural structures and a walk further along the coastline throws up amazing photo opportunities. There are an impressive 187 conveniently located pitches, catering for everything from a tent to the fanciest of motorhomes.
You won’t just be close to the scenery - all of the home comforts available to you on the park are a short walk away from your pitch, as are the brilliant activities to be found in our Activity Barn or The Boathouse water sports hub.
