Donmouth Local Nature Reserve

Toggle location map

Donmouth Local Nature Reserve is a beach site in the historic Old Aberdeen part of the City, where the River Don meets the sea.

A great place to see seals and a range of interesting birds. The beach area has changed over time as the river has changed its course. There are lots of interesting plants in the dunes and beach area. The Bird hide is an excellent shelter from which to watch the wildlife.

The paths run across King Street to the Brig 'o Balgownie, the original bridge in to the City from the North, then down the other side of the river to the sea.

The site was designated a Local Nature Reserve in 1992.

Paths are good, although wheelchair access to the beach would be difficult as the boardwalk can get covered with sand.
