Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Newtonhill Beach (Aberdeenshire) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Newtonhill Beach (Aberdeenshire) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Newtonhill Beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing.

It's such a lovely view from up here and a nice path to walk along the cliffs. There is not a lot of parking. I found sitting on the bench here so peaceful and quiet overlooking the coastline. If you are doing the coastal route, go and have a look.
