Nestled beneath a historic castle in the former fishing village of Broughty Ferry, now a residential suburb of Dundee is an extensive sandy beach. A promenade gives direct pedestrian and disabled access at several locations. The beach is backed by dunes and provides views across the Tay estuary to the North Fife coast. There is a nature conservation site and a host of wildlife, including birds, seals and the occasional porpoise can be seen. There is a safe area marked out for swimming and close by are an extensive range of leisure facilities including the castle museum, an excellent play area, and a beautiful rock garden. There is also an ice-cream vendor located close to the play park and beach. Lifeguards are present from 19th June - 5th September. Please note that the water quality at this beach has varied this year and KSB advises visitors to check the most recent sample results on the beach information board before swimming.
