Kitesurfing - Newburgh, Aberdeenshire

Situated at the northern end, Newburgh offers two beaches for kite surfing and can produce some awesome wave riding conditions. There is also a large estuary offering flat water conditions however  the wind can be very gusty and it is also a nature reserve.

Parking:

Follow the A90 north from Balmedie for about 2 and a half miles and turn right onto the A975 to Newburgh.

GR003 247. Allows access to the beach south of the River Ythan via a ten minute walk.

GR004 271. Gives access to the beach north of the River Ythan via a 2km walk 

Wind:

Usable winds are NE to SSW

Hazards:

If kiting on the beach to the north of the river avoid the northern end of the beach as the wind gets very gusty around the cliffs and there are also rocks hidden in the shallows.

 Facilities
