North Donmouth Beach (Aberdeen) is located outside the Mundurno settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the North Donmouth Beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

User reviews

"It's a lovely beach and a great place for walking the dog, only thing is there has been a lot of erosion of sand and come time there won't be a walk round to the beach."

Diane McNally

"Very beautiful beach that not many people know about and as such it is usually quiet. Best place to park is Donmouth Road Car Park and then this place is an easy 3 min walk. Great spot to see the seals and seal pups when they're out but please don't disturb their peace. The beach is very long and is great for a walk on a sunny day. Good place to see the sunset."
