Description
This is a cracking wee bay. Car park directly in front of it so you have easy access to the water. Best visited around high tide as the beach slopes fairly steeply and then is pretty level for decent distance, so it can be a long trudge knee deep to get to swimmable depth at low tide. There are some large rocks towards the right of the bay looking out to sea, so suggest accessing the water from the left hand side of the beach.
Getting There
You can park directly at the beach. Parking costs £3 a day or you can get an annual pass from East Lothian Council for a number of coastal car parks. The 124 bus stops nearby, or you could get a train to Longniddry and it's about 15 mins' walk from there. You can't stay overnight in the car park. You could also park at Seton Sands or Longniddry Bents Car Park #2 and walk along a well defined coastal path to get to the bay.
Accessibility
Water access is straightforward. It's a sandy beach, would suggest swim shoes / socks in case of the occasional rock or crab. There are recently refurbished toilets but it's important to know they are not open 24/7.

One of the best beaches in East Lothian. Lots of variation ranging from soft sand to rock pools. There are several car parks along the beach. All have height restrictions though, so if you’re in a tall van, you’ll need to access the beach from Port Seaton. It’s not too far though and well worth it.
