Aberdeen Beach and Queens Links, Coastal recreational complex in Aberdeen, Scotland
The beach stretches along a curved shoreline from Aberdeen Harbour to the River Don, featuring golden sand and protective stone groynes.
The area included an indoor bathing facility from 1898 to 1972, opposite the Beach Ballroom, serving the local population for swimming activities.
The Beach Ballroom and Queens Links Leisure Park form a central gathering space where residents participate in entertainment and community events.
Multiple bus routes connect the beach to Aberdeen city center, with dedicated parking areas and cycling paths along the Beach Esplanade.
The northern section near River Don offers observation points for watching seabirds, terns, waders, and occasional seals resting on the sand.

Aberdeen and its region feature a series of sites that testify to several centuries of Scottish history. The city contains religious buildings such as the 14th-century St. Machar Cathedral, cultural institutions like the neoclassical Music Hall from 1822, and the Maritime Museum, as well as green spaces including Duthie Park with its botanical greenhouses. The port, active since the 12th century, remains an important center for maritime industry. A 3.5-kilometer sandy beach borders the North Sea, while the Footdee district retains its 19th-century fishing houses.
