This stunning stretch of golden sand near Dirleton offers one of East Lothian's most picturesque coastal experiences. Backed by rolling dunes and the ancient Yellowcraig Wood, the beach provides excellent facilities including car parking, toilets, and a seasonal café. The sheltered bay is perfect for families, with rock pools to explore at low tide and views across to the dramatic silhouette of Bass Rock. Walking trails wind through the adjacent woods and along the coast, making it an ideal spot for combining beach time with nature exploration.
