Cruden Bay

Cruden Bay is a southeast-facing beach break on the Aberdeenshire coast, around 26 miles north of Aberdeen. The break is a peaky sandbar, best at low to mid tide. At high tide it tends to shoredump. Winter and early spring are your best bet, although, it's quite fickle and can be unreliable even in good conditions. There's a free car park near the harbour and public toilets on site, with another alternative car park in the village itself. Access to the beach is a short walk from the car park over the Ladies Bridge.
