Beautiful Beaches
As with all beaches up in North East Scotland, it is very clean and crystal clear waters. Hopeman beach is a family favourite for us and has an extensive harbour, 2 beaches, a skate park and playpark close by. Parking and driving through the main street (Harbour street) can be tough.

A stunning beach with great rock formations too. The views look back along towards the seaside town of Cullen. The little ice-cream shop is infamous - make sure to ask for their home-made ice cream for a natural flavour.
