Arbroath Beach

Arbroath is mostly known for its smoked haddock (Arbroath Smokies), but its wonderful beach and splendid Abbey are well worth a visit. Arbroath beach is a fabulous spot to celebrate a pleasant day relaxing or making sandcastles. It owns designated bathing waters which are surrounded by a cycle way and a grassy surface next to the car park. The cliff-top path above the beach gives amazing coastal sights and is an ideal spot for seeing an array of seabirds. It has a children’s play area and rock pools to consider, and Kerr’s Miniature Railway – the oldest miniature railway in Scotland – located nearby. The optimum access to the beach is from West Links Leisure Park and from the car park next to the little red lighthouse, situated south of the town.
