Bunkhouse accommodation is not yet well developed but camping is available on the twelve caravan and camping sites on the coast.

Eating out also offers a wide choice to the visitor.

Traditional Fish and Chip restaurants and Take Aways where the fish is as fresh as it gets can be found in most towns and villages.

You can also choose to eat at a range of restaurants and hotels that are on the trail.Honourable mention must be made of the Udny Arms Hotel, Newburgh where Sticky Toffee Pudding was “discovered”.

The local speciality Cullen Skink – fish soup - is also to be found on most menus.

A traditional Scottish meal – The High Tea is also still served in the coastal towns where a variety of hot dishes usually including Fish and Chips is followed by, home baked scones, “fancy” cakes and a pot of tea.

Although seafood is the mainstay of most good menus, it must be remembered that the farms of Aberdeenshire produce some of the finest beef in the world and this also features on hotel and restaurant menus.
