Enjoy pristine white sandy shores and clear waters perfect for swimming, paddling, and windsurfing with stunning coastal views.

Rosehearty Beach is a crescent-shaped sandy beach located in a small town about 5 miles west of Fraserburgh in North Scotland. The north-facing beach features stunning white sands and clear waters that can have an almost tropical feel in sunny weather. The beach stretches from the harbor to the west to rocky outcrops to the east, with the romantic ruins of Pittulie and Pitsligo castles visible behind it. Visitors can enjoy a variety of water activities including swimming, paddling, and windsurfing, with the beach featuring a gentle shelf and excellent water quality. The area is Marine Conservation Society Recommended and is ideal for families and water sports enthusiasts. Beyond the beach itself, there are numerous good coastal walks in the area offering views out over the Moray Firth. Facilities include a car park adjacent to the beach with spaces suitable for campervans and caravans, toilets, and cafes or restaurants. While there is no lifeguard service, the beach is well-established for recreational use. Dog-friendly restrictions may apply seasonally, typically from Easter through the end of summer.
