Musselburgh Beach

"My first time in Musselburgh I came up from England (via the A701 scenic route through Moffat) to attend a funeral in Kirkliston but was too early so I diverted to Musselburgh Promenade. I walked down to the delightful little Fisherrow Harbour and later drove further along to the Promenade at Portobello Beach. I love the grand houses and red sandstone apartments overlooking or near the sea front. It looked like a lovely place for a long walk with or without a dog. There are some interesting placards explaining the history and view points. I walked round both sides or the harbour looking closely at how the yachts are moored in the defined ‘mooring field’. This is pleasant place a step away from Leith and, of course, busy Edinburgh. BTW the roads towards South Queensferry from here were a nightmare. So much poorly planned roadwork."

"Nice little beach, very good for swimming when high tide. There are parking and toilets, very easy to get there by bus 26, 44, 45, 113, 124."

"Brilliant peaceful place with a lovely beach either side of the small marina. Petrol station good for supplies and toilet plus a public toilet by marina in carpark. There's a cafe which opens at 9am and has lovely offerings and coffee. Friendly people everyone was warm and welcoming. Will definitely be going back to experience again."

"Great place to visit and stop over for the night. Friendly local people and amazing views looking out from the marina. Public toilet and service station which is 24hrs"

"Musselburgh was a great spot to enjoy this lovely sunny day. Everyone was social distancing. The sea is clean without any litter. Is nice spot to take children. There is also a wee van that sells drinks and food if not there is always Lidl in 5 minutes away."
