Wander through the picturesque village of Sandend, a surfer’s haven framed by sweeping sands, or step back in time in Portsoy, where traditional stone cottages and the annual Boat Festival celebrate the area’s seafaring roots. Discover the elegant architecture and historic allure of Banff, then cross the bridge to Macduff, home to a marine aquarium highlighting local sea life. Further along the coast, Rosehearty offers stunning sea views, dramatic cliffs and a glimpse into centuries of fishing tradition. From coastal walks to cultural gems, the Banffshire Coast perfectly blends history, nature and charm in every seaside stop.
