East Lothian, Scotland

Belhaven Bay

Beach break

The spot

25 April 2026

A massive sprawling beach break. It's pretty consistent and not that far from Edinburgh city, so it's fairly popular. Although don't come expecting anything huge, more often than not it's quite tame - so a great spot for beginners.

There's a few spots and alternative car parks, but the Linkfield one (the one I've linked here) has a few public amenities like bathrooms and an outdoor shower. The other one is next to the town itself, and has the Coast to Coast Surf School operating from it. Both car parks are pay and display!
