Aberdeen Beach is a long sweep of sand curving north from the harbour towards the mouth of the Don, backed by a broad promenade and the city’s granite skyline. It’s an easy walk from the centre, good for a blowy stroll, and lined with the usual seafront cafes and amusements. Aberdeen station is a short walk inland.
