The terrain at Balmedie Beach in Aberdeenshire is primarily sandy beach, which is firm near the water's edge at low tide but can be soft and tiring to walk on higher up towards the dunes. The sand dunes have uneven sandy paths with some steep sections. Boardwalks may be present in some areas to protect the dunes and aid access. The area is very exposed to coastal weather and can be extremely windy. Be prepared for changing conditions on this Aberdeenshire coast.

- Dog Notes:
Balmedie Beach in Aberdeenshire is generally very dog-friendly, with vast expanses of sand for dogs to run and play, especially at low tide. Dogs can usually be off-lead on the beach and in many parts of the dunes, but ensure they are under control, especially in the SSSI dune areas to protect wildlife (like nesting birds) and if other beach users or horse riders are present. Please clean up after your dog. Be aware of strong currents if dogs enter the sea. This Aberdeenshire beach is a dog's paradise!
