Beach Ballroom
Famous acts to appear at the Beach Ballroom include the Beatles, Pink Floyd, the Who, the Small Faces, Cream, Joe Loss, Ken Mackintosh and more recently the Ordinary Boys and Twin Atlantic. Like many buildings in Aberdeen, it is made from granite.
The Beach Ballroom is owned and operated by Aberdeen City Council and has a webcam that faces south along the beach towards Footdee. The Ballroom is connected to the more modern Beach Leisure Centre via an indoor walkway.
The main dance hall is octagonal and originally had a domed ceiling, though this has since been covered over with a suspended ceiling. The smaller Star Ballroom extension was opened in June 1963.
The Ballroom underwent a refurbishment from 2008 to April 2010.
