Port Seton Beach, situated on the south bank of the Firth of Forth, is a charming seaside resort that offers a unique blend of natural beauty, recreational activities, and historic attractions.
Port Seton Beach is a small seaside resort with a small harbour and a sand and shingle beach. Historically, it was a traditional salt making village.
Seton Sands is a long, rural beach located between Cockenzie & Port Seton and Longniddry. The beach is a popular destination for various activities, including windsurfing, canoeing, and horse riding. Visitors can also enjoy interesting walks in the area. The beach is dog-friendly, with its own dog exercise area.
The beach itself is a mix of sand and rocks, with interesting marine wildlife to be found in the rockpools exposed at low tide. A car park is available along the B1348 (Links Road), with a path leading through a wooded area, over the dunes, to the beach. A small Haven holiday village, complete with an indoor swimming pool and 9-hole golf course, overlooks the beach. Nearby Cockenzie and Port Seton offer shops, places to eat and drink, and other amenities. Edinburgh, with its rich history and culture, is just a 30-minute drive away.
