Grassy Beach
18 minute walk from Broughty Ferry station · Dundee, Aberdeen and North East · Free entry
Grassy Beach is a pleasant 1.6 km stretch of mixed-use path along the estuarine riverfront. Running from the Stannergate to the edge of Broughty Ferry, it serves as a key part of the city’s Greenways Network.
This area is biologically significant as one of the last remaining sections of original coastal grassland in Dundee. Visitors can explore an art trail of plant names created by a local environmental project, which combines local biodiversity with artistic expression.
The path is a popular destination for bird watchers and cyclists. While enjoying the waterfront, you may see boating enthusiasts at the widest portion of the beach or spot various bird species that frequent this unique coastal habitat.
