Visiting Fraserburgh Beach

Getting there
From Aberdeen, take the A90 north towards Peterhead, then continue on the A952 towards Fraserburgh. Upon reaching Fraserburgh, follow signs towards the beach or the town center, where the beach is well signposted. Parking is available along the esplanade, providing easy access to the beach.

Ample parking is available along the beach esplanade, offering convenient access to the beach and nearby amenities. The parking areas are well-signposted and easily accessible from the main road.

Safety
Check the tide times before you go and head out on a falling tide, so you're never cut off. Keep away from the bottom of cliffs, wear sturdy shoes on rocks, and only take sea glass and other man-made rubbish: pebbles, sand and shells should stay on the beach.
