It is close to the small town of Gatehouse of Fleet. Mossyard is a privately owned beach within the boundary of Mossyard farm. It is popular with visitors to the adjacent caravan and camping park.

At low tide, there is a sandy area between the shore and Garvellan Rocks. This beach sits on a transitional water and mud flats are exposed at low tide making the water’s edge difficult to access in certain areas.
