Portobello Beach

  Portobello Beach sits along the southeastern coast of Edinburgh, just a short distance from the bustling city center. Originally a seaside resort in the 19th century, this beach has transformed into a popular destination for both locals and visitors looking for leisure and recreation. The main feature is its expansive stretch of golden sand, which invites activities such as sunbathing, swimming, and beach sports during the warmer months, particularly from June to August. As you stroll along the promenade, you can enjoy views of the Firth of Forth and, on clear days, catch sight of the iconic Bass Rock. Visitors often explore local cafes and enjoy fresh seafood, making it a lively spot to unwind and savor the coastal atmosphere.
