The steep grassy slopes and dune grasslands that surround Strathy Bay are rich in wild flowers and a number of uncommon plants can be found here. Purple oxytropis, spring squill, kidney vetch, Scottish primrose and some rare eyebright species fourish here.
From Strathy Point there are extensive views of the northern coastline and on a clear day, it is possible to see Cape Wrath, Dunnet Head and Orkney. The impressive cliffs of Strahty Point, the cliff-top vegetation with the rare Scottish primrose, the variety of seabirds, whales and dolphins are all features to look for here.
