About This Place

Dunbar is a popular seaside resort about 30 miles east of Edinburgh. --> The town’s East Beach is a mix of sand and shingle stretching south-east from the harbour. The beach is quite popular with kayakers and a surf school runs paddle boarding sessions here. When the tide is out a number of rockpools are exposed. At certain times of year and in certain conditions a large amount of kelp can be deposited here by the sea.  The waves have also been responsible for washing away sand from this beach in the past. At the north end the beach is backed by a sea wall which forms part of the old harbour.  A golf course lies adjacent to the southern end of the beach. Dunbar town centre with its shops, cafes and places to stay is just a few minutes’ walk away.

💡 Our Take

East Beach in Dunbar, Scotland, is a must-visit for dog lovers, offering a welcoming sandy stretch where pups can roam freely year-round. Its soft sand is perfect for energetic dogs to dash around, making it ideal for both lively puppies and bigger breeds who love a good run. With no restrictions in place, it's a haven for anxious dogs too, providing a serene environment for them to explore. While parking nearby ensures easy access, note that the sea can be unpredictable; always supervise your pet while swimming. A charming spot highly recommended by DogParkUK for its dog-friendly vibes and safety.
