Sandend Bay is situated in a small fishing village on the Moray Coast, about one and a half hours' drive from Aberdeen. The bay boasts a gently sloping sandy beach that is popular with families and those seeking a tranquil spot to relax. The beach is primarily composed of sand, with rocky areas at either end and small patches of pebbles.
At low tide, a considerable expanse of sand is exposed, making it an ideal spot for playing in the sand, hunting for shells, or simply enjoying the scenery. The waves at Sandend Bay are suitable for surfers, who visit from surrounding areas when there is a swell.
The village of Sandend dates back to the 17th century and features a small working harbour. Remnants of Second World War defences, including anti-tank positions and a pill-box, can be found around the bay. Facilities in the village are limited, so visitors are advised to bring a picnic.
