Beautiful place to visit and the locals were just lovely. The shop, Goodman Sands Cafe (dog-friendly) and The Chippy were ideal and had the friendliest staff. Would definitely recommend. Would love to go back and enjoy some of the beautiful walks we didn't get to explore because of the weather.

I have stayed in Hopeman many times before and rate it as one of my favourite places in the world. It is peaceful but not isolated. The beaches and sea are beautiful both in the village and beyond. We have seen dolphins in the sea several times and enjoyed the amazing sunsets. There are probably just the right amount of facilities for visitors: general store for essentials, cafe, couple of ice cream shops, gift shop, couple of pubs, play park along with beaches and harbour. There are some beautiful old houses and nice planting throughout the village. We have stayed at the caravan park previously, although tended to stay in houses once the children got older. I have mixed feelings about how the caravan park has been extended in the past few years. It does dominate the view now from West beach and it is busier on the beaches, with more people staying. I can imagine the more frequent caravans/campervans up harbour street are a source of annoyance to the locals. However we did visit the Bootleg Bothy for a lovely al fresco meal and it was a nice change to be able to enjoy a cold beer with a sea view. Our favourite places to visit in the area: Lossiemouth Culbin Forest Findhorn Cove Bay Burghead On the whole I still love Hopeman as much as I did and feel relaxed and invigorated after a week there. However I am secretly hoping that more people go back to their foreign holidays soon so that I can have a bit more peace and quiet on the beach.
