About Cammachmore Bay

Cammachmore Bay is a coastal sea cliff venue located south of Aberdeen, offering steep granite and gneiss climbing above the North Sea. The rock character features rough, wave-cut granite with vertical jam cracks, crisp edges, and solid wire placements. Facing east, the cliff receives early morning sunshine and dries steadily under dry winds off the mainland. The climbing consists of traditional sea cliff routes from Severe up to E-grade wall climbs, with Cammachmore Wall serving as a quality benchmark. The approach takes fifteen minutes along coastal paths and steep descent gullies from village parking in Cammachmore. Tidal movement covers low belay platforms, making tide tracking essential.
