Latest reviews on Edinburgh's beaches

Barnbougle Castle Beach

Stunning venue for a wedding. Distinctive and captivating, offering a breathtaking view of Edinburgh. Even on a rainy day, it felt incredibly special.

Silverknowes Beach
10 Izzy P.

This beach is a stunning spot for leisurely strolls. I highly recommend visiting on weekends to unwind. It tends to be quite breezy, so don't forget to bring a jacket. The ocean boasts a beautiful blue hue, and you can freely walk or jog along the shoreline. Additionally, there's a charming beach cafe where you can grab a coffee to take with you. This location offers a pure, natural setting, and I absolutely adore the peaceful walks here. You'll always encounter fellow individuals seeking some fresh air. I would definitely suggest this place, as it's not a tourist hotspot but rather a hidden gem for locals. Come and relish a Sunday afternoon stroll.

Wardie Bay

When the weather is pleasant, it tends to get crowded with numerous BBQs and smoke filling the air. During winter, it's an excellent spot to meet like-minded individuals who enjoy wading through the seaweed for a wild swim.

Portobello beach

The beach in Edinburg is absolutely stunning and delightful. It boasts a sandy shoreline, making it perfect for those seeking tranquility and quality time either alone or with their family. However, there is one aspect that is noticeably lacking. For individuals who are not interested in beachside activities, this destination is still a great choice. By incorporating a variety of activities, sports, games, or other attractions, it could become even more appealing to a diverse range of people. Currently, there is only a small playground available for children. If there were some captivating rides, it would greatly enhance the experience for families with kids. Additionally, there are a few food shops available. Aside from these minor drawbacks, this place is guaranteed to capture your heart.

Beach Walk

This location is perfect for catching both sunsets and sunrises. However, be aware that the tide can cover almost the entire beach, so it's a good idea to check the tide schedule before planning your visit. There's a concrete wave breaker that makes a great spot for barbecues. While the beach is generally clean, the concrete structure does detract from the natural beauty. It appears that sewage used to be released in this area, but I've never noticed any unpleasant smells or sights. I've also seen people fishing and swimming here, which suggests that the water is safe.

This beach is a great place to find beach glass!
