Popular with walkers, nature lovers and holidaymakers, the area offers a relaxed seaside lifestyle with beautiful coastal scenery on your doorstep.

There are many places worth visiting, none more so than Southerness. Southerness is home to the famous Golf course of the same name, the redundant lighthouse, and also the John Paul Jones hotel, named after the founder of the United States Navy, who was born nearby in Kirkbean.
The beach is located next to a caravan park which has leisure facilities including a swimming pool and arcade. There is a deactivated lighthouse (the second oldest in Scotland) which is open to view during the summer. The 18 hole Southerness Golf Course welcomes visitors. The beach is connected to 2 footpaths. Southerness has a large, shallow, sandy beaches on both sides of the rocky next to the village and to the west extend out to the vast Mersehead Sands exposed at low tide. The beaches are located next to a holiday park but their size allows visitors enough space even on the busiest days. Southerness is a small village constructed in the 1760s adjacent to a lighthouse erected to warn sailing ships of the dangerous rocky outcrops on the approach to Dumfries. The promontory was once called Saulterness, meaning salt makers point, after the saltpans which produced the salt which was used for preserving food. The village has a long history as a sea bathing resort and now has a large holiday park with associated facilities.
