Sandhaven is a small coastal village in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, tucked along the Buchan coast and facing the North Sea. It has a distinctly maritime feel, with sandy beaches and dunes giving way to rows of whitewashed cottages and the remains of a once-busy shore economy; the landscape is popular for coastal walks and seabird watching.
Historically Sandhaven grew up as a 19th‑century fishing settlement and retains links to the sea through local fisheries and fish‑processing, while many residents now commute to nearby Fraserburgh or work in agriculture and services. Community life is compact and traditionally Doric in tone, with village events, local gatherings and a modest level of seasonal tourism that brings visitors looking for a quieter stretch of the north‑east coast.
