Sandhaven Harbour sits just west of Fraserburgh and remains an important part of the area’s long maritime tradition. Once a busy fishing harbour, it is now home to a close‑knit boating community, local marine services, and a sheltered basin that continues to support small craft, leisure vessels, and heritage activity along the Buchan coast. With its stone piers, historic character, and strong ties to the region’s fishing past, Sandhaven offers a quieter but still purposeful marine environment that complements the larger commercial operations of Fraserburgh.
Today, the harbour provides a practical base for moorings, maintenance, and community‑led marine projects, while its coastal setting makes it a welcoming stop for visitors exploring the northeast shoreline. Blending working‑harbour authenticity with local pride and ongoing restoration efforts, Sandhaven remains a valued part of Aberdeenshire’s maritime landscape.
