Dores Beach is
at one end of Loch Ness. It is a pebble beach and stretches
along to the woods at the far end. Many people visit the beach and
enjoy paddling or swimming there in the summer time. However, be warned
the water is very cold indeed! It is said to be over 200m deep in
parts! It is popular for water sports and many families have barbecues
along the shoreline.
Loch Ness is the largest fresh water loch in Britain and stretches
for 22 miles. It is 1 mile wide at certain points. It forms part of
the Great Glen.
As you stand by the picnic tables situated outside the Dores Inn and
look out over the Beach and the Loch you will see to your right, a
caravan. Here lives Steve, the monster hunter! He has lived in the
caravan for over 17 years watching over the Loch from the Dores Beach
in the hope of seeing the Loch Ness monster.
As yet he hasn’t had any luck!
However, many locals have seen Nessie!
From information collected through a questionnaire sent out by pupils
from Aldourie Primary pupils to locals, we can tell you that Nessie
is most commonly seen in the month of June/July, on a warm summer’s
day when the water is calm.She is a dark grey or black colour and
appears in the form of a series of humps. To help you look for Nessie
there is a telescope at the side of the Beach near the picnic tables.
Happy hunting!
