Lovely mix of rocks and beach...on a good day seals can be seen swimming or even sunbathing. Plenty of space to run/walk in a crowd or alone. Watch our wonderful coastline with crashing waves or gentle ripples and breathe in that air.
Gullane Beach, aka Gullane Bents, is a beautiful, sandy beach that's well worth visiting. We missed the sign for Gullane Bents on the main street, but you'll get there if you walk in the opposite direction from the golf course. On a Saturday in February there was a pleasant amount of activity, with people lunching on the benches overlooking the beach and kitesurfers in the water. Well worth your time!Also, a 6-min journey on the 124 bus from Gullane will get you to Dirleton Castle, if you're looking for something else to do. To get back to Edinburgh we took the X24 bus (costs £4.20).
Arguably the best beach in east lothian. Happy childhood memories and still enjoy particularly off season
Gullane beach is worth a visit no matter what time of the year you go. It's a beautiful long sandy beach with great dunes. It's perfect for dog walking, exploring with kids or sunbathing when the sun's out. It does get busy but nothing in comparison to say Portobello beach which is closer to the city and serviced by buses. There's usually an ice cream van on busy days and there are public toilets. If you're planning a day there best to bring supplies with you. The beach is really clean and well maintained and visitors here respect the space and it's rare to see any rubbish lying around. The sand is soft and fine and golden. My favourite beach on the eats coast for sure!
lovely place to walk, a bit on the cold isde for a swim I thought. a beautiful location one of the most striking beaches I have seen.
A lovely sandy beach with plenty of free parking, also allows disposable BBQ's which special bins provided.
This is one of the best beaches I have been on and love it,it is very sandy,there is free parking but if you want to park for a short walk to the beach you get charged for parking.
Nice wide sandy beach. Great for a walk, for exercising and even horse riding (i saw people horse riding but am not sure where they got the horses from). I am not a fan of cold water, i would personally skip the swimming part.
Fantastic beach with great dunes!Must be at least a mile of sand in each direction from the car park at Gullane. I can just imagine a hot summers day beside the dunes superb!!!!
Beautiful sandy beach, which we and the dogs enjoyed. There are several ways down to the beach. You can go by car and park above the beach, or make your way there on foot for a longer walk.
