Things to Do in East Lothian

East Lothian's coastline shapes much of what there is to do here, from the wide sands of Belhaven Bay and Tyninghame Beach near Dunbar to Gullane Beach further along the coast. North Berwick makes a good base for a day out, with a treasure trail and easy access to John Muir Country Park for walkers and families wanting rock pools, dunes and birdlife rather than a packed itinerary.

Inland and around the farms, the offer is more seasonal and hands-on: pumpkin picking at Kilduff Farm or Balgone Estate, wildlife spotting at Pease Dean Wildlife Reserve, or a round of disc golf at ReBoot. Musselburgh adds craft and activity options like Fingers and Thumbs Crafts Centre for a change of pace.

With attractions spread across Dunbar, Gullane, Musselburgh and North Berwick, it's worth pairing a beach visit with one inland stop rather than trying to cover the whole county in a single trip.
