Footdee Beach

Footdee Beach is a sandy beach at the harbour end of the main Aberdeen beach.

Footdee is known to the locals as “Fittie” – a small village at the east end of Aberdeen’s harbour. Originally a fishing village, it comprises two areas of fishing cottages built in two squares. It’s a popular beach for windsurfing, kayaking, jet skiing and fishing, and the usual holidaymakers sunbathing and swimming.

Footdee Beach has dog-restricted zones between marked groynes.

There is good parking but no lifeguard. The nearest town is Aberdeen with all the facilities it has to offer, and there are many attractions nearby.
