What visitors say

Faheem Anwar

Lovely place for walks along the beach and cliffs. Parking is reasonable but I can see it getting busy in summer. Toilets availble. Playing area for kids and picnic benches.

Car park £3 all day loads of spaces, clean toilets, big adventure play park for the kids, map with directions. We went onto the beach and then along to Dunbar and back. Short walk to get into the beach, then over Belhaven bridge and along John Muir Way into Town. Lovely walk, timed it perfect with the tides. In the other direction is woodlands and more beach, will check that out next time! Great place if you like coastal outdoors! Dunbar is also a great wee town.

Beautiful, just sad to see quite a few of the trees down from last years storm but still a magical place for us and crazy Cael the collie loved it and all the adventures to be had. Excellent varied beautiful spaces and what a beach with its ever changing huge sky. We love it here, will keep coming back.

A great place to bring the kids or go for a walk. There is a small play park for the kids to play in and there is public restroom next to it. The place is great for wildlife watching especially birds and Butterflies. The downside of this place is there is a lot of dog walking in the area which can sometimes scare the wildlife away. Car parking £2 for the day.
