Broughty Ferry Beach
Beaches
RegionalOverview
Nestled beneath a historic castle in the former fishing village of Broughty Ferry, this spacious sandy beach is the perfect destination for a relaxing family day out.
This broad sandy beach lies just to the east of Broughty Ferry Castle at the mouth of the Tay Estuary. In recognition of its cleanliness, the excellent quality of its water and top-class facilities, the beach at Broughty Ferry has been awarded Blue Flags on a number of occasions as well as the Resort Seaside Award.
Flanked by dunes, the beach boasts lovely views across the Tay Estuary to the north coast of Fife. It is home to a nature conservation site where a remarkable array of wildlife can be found including birds, seals and even the occasional porpoise.
Windbreaks are available for hire during the summer months when volleyball nets are also erected and a safe area for swimming is cordoned off.
Close by are a wide range of attractions including Broughty Castle Museum, an excellent children’s play area, a rock garden, cafés, bars, shops, restaurants and a local jet ski club.
