Portobello Beach

Just over three miles away from Edinburgh’s city centre is the award-winning Portobello Beach. This beach entices many visitors each year, thanks to its coastal sights, amusements and eateries!

A superb place to spend the day, this beach is backed by Victorian and Georgian architecture, along with an extensive promenade. Here, you can go for a stroll amidst the coastal scenery before savouring a sweet treat at Portobello’s most popular cafe: The Beach House.

Afterward, wander down to the pristine shore to paddle in the North Sea’s waters or sail with the local club. If you’d prefer to relax, Portobello Beach offers a wealth of sands to sunbathe on, too!

For more fun, you can visit Nobles Amusements for an afternoon of classic arcade games! The Victorian swimming pool also rests nearby, offering luxurious, Turkish baths.

The beach’s promenade is also a hub for events! Why not visit the annual Big Beach Busk and Art Walk Porty Festival to soak up the area’s vibrant culture?

The beach is dog-friendly, so be sure to bring your furry friends along!

Enjoy a memorable outing at this delightful beach…
