Peterhead Lido Beach is a small, sandy town beach situated within Peterhead Bay Marina, in the heart of Peterhead Harbour. .
Peterhead Lido is a thin strip of sandy beach located within Peterhead Bay Marina, itself within the larger Peterhead Harbour. The beach is sectioned off from the rest of the bay by two breakwaters, creating an area of water that is suitable for swimming. However, it is essential to note that this is not a swimming pool, but a natural body of water.
The beach is popular for various watersports, including sailing and windsurfing. A large car park overlooks the beach, with a road leading directly down to the shore. Additionally, plenty of dog bins are provided for visitors. A small caravan park also offers stunning views of the beach.
The harbour remains a thriving industrial hub, primarily due to its connection to the nearby gas and oil plants. Peterhead was originally founded as a fishing centre, and a significant fishing industry still exists today. The town centre, located approximately half a mile north of the beach, offers a range of shops, restaurants, and accommodation options.
Visitors can explore the Peterhead Prison Museum, which operated as one of Britain's toughest prisons from 1888 to 2013. The museum is a short walk from the beach and provides an interesting detour for those interested in history.
