Parks & Nature
Miles and miles of clean sandy beach stretching from Broughty Ferry Castle up the east coast as far as the eye can see. There is a large and very good playpark for children which is a hive of activity in the warmer months. Dolphins are a common site in summer and boat tours offer an up-close view. If you enjoy walking or cycling, this is the spot for you.

Situated at the end of the Broughty Ferry Esplanade, near Monifieth, the rock garden is a lovely spot if you enjoy nature, wildlife or horticulture. Managed by a team of volunteers, the garden is easily reached by car, on foot or by bicycle. It actually sits on part of Dundee's much loved Green Circular, a 26-mile cycle route which circumnavigates the city.
