- [Balmedie to Newburgh](https://yosurf.app/spot/balmedie-to-newburgh): North East Scotland; Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate; A remote, rarely surfed stretch of beach between Balmedie and Newburgh. Picks up the same swell as Aberdeen, just to the south.

- [Spey Bay](https://yosurf.app/spot/spey-bay): North East Scotland; Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; A long stretch of beach at the mouth of the River Spey, which gives the sandbars some shape. Beginner level.
- [Nigg Bay](https://yosurf.app/spot/nigg-bay): North East Scotland; Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate; Fast, hollow boulder reefs at each end of Nigg Bay in Aberdeen, with good beach break peaks in the middle. Needs a big swell to fire, but it can handle plenty of size.
