Flying at the Bridge of DonJust to the north of the city of Aberdeen is the start of a beach that stretches unspoilt and uninterrupted for 11 and a half miles. With it’s beautiful golden sands and impressive dune systems this beach offers an extensive playground for kite surfers from wave riding to freestyle and even down winders covering the entire 11 and half miles.

There are three main access points to this stretch of beach, all of which are located within nature reserves. It is therefore advised that users park in the car parks provided and adhere to good practice both on and off the water. As with many beaches in the UK high tides can vastly reduce the amount of usable beach space and consideration for other users is advised.

Spot Guide

Spot Guide

Big Sand BeachWe have compiled a guide to locations we use for kiting. It was originally written purely for kitesurfing, but we have added notes for powerkiters, buggiers and landboarders.

Cruden Bay

About 10 miles north of Newburgh is Cruden Bay. This 3km-curved beach with its flat sands offers good shallow waters with small to large waves. The beach is also usually great for kite buggiers and landboarders. More info...

Boyndie Bay

Boyndie Bay is a very kite friendly location, with no dunes and no major hazards. It’s also a popular surf break among the local surfers, who have a surf club right by the beach. The water state is usually a lot flatter than at Fraserburgh, which makes it a good venue for beginners and intermediate riders. More info...
