It is characterised by its gently undulating landform, relatively large scale, extensive mosses and the influence of development including transmission masts, electricity transmission lines, the A90 and A953, and the gas terminal at St Fergus on its eastern edge. The transition between the Beaches Dunes and Links Landscape Character Type in the east and the hinterland formed by this landscape is very gradual.

Prominent landmark feature of Mormond Hill on the western edge of the area, which includes the White Horse and White Stag quartz hillside figures, the only such in Scotland. Water courses in broad shallow valleys. Mainly arable farming, with fairly extensive areas of moss and wetland. Large, open, geometric fields. Coniferous forest particularly extensive in southern part of the area. Limited broadleaf woodland, forming rare shelterbelts and small groups around farms.
