Location

Cruden Bay is a small village on the north coast of the Bay of Cruden, Aberdeenshire, just west of Slains Castle. It is a firm favourite with visitors thanks to its big skies and wide horizons, sandy white beach (with Blue Flag status), crystal clear waters and quaint fishing harbour. The Bay of Cruden has a sweeping expanse of golden sands approximately 2.5km in length. The entire bay is a designated bathing water area and moorings can be available at the harbour. One of Aberdeenshire’s finest sandscapes can be seen at the Cruden Bay Golf Club, a traditional Scottish links course originally designed by Tom Morris of St Andrews and re-designed in the 1920s by Tom Simpson and Herbert Fowler. The panoramic views across the coast and of nearby Slains Castle in the distance are breathtaking.
