Local information
- Cruden Bay is a small village on the north coast of the Bay of Cruden, Aberdeenshire, just west of Slains Castle. It is a firm favourite with tourists thanks to its Blue Flag status, big skies and wide horizons, sandy white beach, crystal clear waters and quaint fishing harbour. The Bay of Cruden has a sweeping expanse of golden sands approximately 2.5km in length. The entire bay is a designated bathing water area and moorings can be available at the harbour. One of Aberdeenshire's finest sandscapes can be seen at the Cruden Bay Golf Club, a traditional Scottish links course originally designed by Tom Morris of St Andrews and re-designed in the 1920s by Tom Simpson and Herbert Fowler. The panoramic views across the coast and of Slains Castle in the distance are breathtaking. The nearby Slains Castle which was built in 1597 faces south on the cliffs. The castle is rumoured to have given Bram Stoker his inspiration for Count Dracula's Castle after a short stay in 1894. Cruden Bay has a medium-sized primary school, while secondary schooling is available at Ellon Academy. There is a public transport available from Cruden Bay to Ellon to cover school hours. There are a few small shops, a chemist/newsagent, a post office, a craft shop and a general store. There is also a medical practice and library. There are good sports facilities, with tennis courts and two football pitches. The school and public hall house a number of youth groups such as Girl guiding UK.
- To the south lies Newburgh, where you can find a village shop, as well as an 18-hole golf course. Trump International Golf Links, a world renowned course, is located along the road from Newburgh.
