A local artist, Correna Cowie, created a statue in 1959 of a seated fisherman, known as The White Mannie, who watches over the harbour.
The caravan park looks out onto a rock formation known as Edindoune and a bay past which schools of Moray Firth dolphins can sometimes be seen.
The people of Findochty speak in the Scots dialect of Doric and the accent can be thick and hard to understand for outsiders.
In 1901, old animal bones taken to be made into implements, were discovered in a cave found in the cliff near the present bowling green.
The cave was destroyed within a few months of discovery by subsequent quarrying for rock to build local houses and roads.
Clifftop paths link Findochty with the neighbouring village of Portknockie and West to Strathlene on the outskirts of Buckie in the other direction.
West of the village lies the 18 hole Strathlene golf course, bounded to the north by coastal footpaths and low cliffs, making the errant drive from some tees particularly costly.
