Aberdeen Beach is a 2 mile section from the River Dee North to the River Don. It is part of a beach that continues North to Newburgh Sands. The beach has anti-errosion groynes which go from the shore out to sea that can be a hazard at higher tides. The beach is split into five main surfing areas: Footdee, Life Guards, Leisure Centre, Driving Range and 28′s.

Aberdeen is Scotland’s third largest city, and as such creates the perfect opportunity for combining a surf trip with a shopping/relaxing/sightseeing holiday. Plenty of skateparks and golfing opportunities. You can get cheap accommodation in the Aberdeen Youth Hostel or check the listings on the right for bed and breakfast, hotel and camping options.
