This part of the beach seemed more shaded from the wind in the bay and people were swimming as there were less waves. There are lots of cool street vendors and truck along this section and some cafes and restaurants nearby too. There’s also free parking along the beach front and some public toilets.

The most vibrant section of the Aberdeen beach, and the usual go to place for wild swimmers, surfers, and those out for a Sunday stroll. There are several food vans offering lunches and coffees, as well as a local Surf/SUP rental. Parking at the nearby leisure complex is the best place followed by a short walk along to the beach. The esplanade paths are accessible at all times though the beach is tidal and at high tide cannot be continuously walked along.
