Overall Rating
Good
From the forestry commission car park at Glenmore follow the red or yellow posts along side the shore of Loch Morlich and the Allt Mor burn and round to the car park all on good tracks. I did it on my mobility scooter.
Disabled Access In and Around
Good
Signage with colour coded marker post were easy to use follow. I combined the red and yellow routes https://forestryandland.gov.scot/visit/forest-parks/glenmore-forest-park/loch-morlich-beach Most of the path was hard packed fine gravel with a few places that were a bit bumpy. Some places there were loads of pine cones as it was a windy day. There were various places you could get close to the beach without getting stuck in the sand.
Parking & Transport
Excellent
I think there's a bus from Aviemore. Plenty of space for parking for free or pay and display in the forestry commission car parks.
Accessible Toilets
0I didn't use them but they are at the beach cafe which is surrounded by sand or at the visitor centre near the start/finish of the routes.
Staff
0I didn't encounter any staff.
Additional Information
It was a great place to enjoy an accessible beach with lovely views of the Cairngorm mountains.
