World class attractions
The beauty about a break in East Lothian, is that there is just so much to do here.
The area boasts an abundance of world class visitor attractions. Whether you are on holiday with the kids, enjoying a getaway with friends or are just looking for a relaxing break together, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
Marvel at the world’s largest colony of gannets on the Bass Rock from the 5 star Seabird Centre or get up close to nature with a superb boat trip out on the Firth of Forth to the Rock and the iconic Forth Bridges. Enjoy a wonderful day out at East Links Family Park and explore the great outdoors in the John Muir Country Park, enjoy a supersonic experience at the National Museum of Flight and step back in time with a visit to the historic castles of Tantallon, Dirleton and Dunbar.
In an area famous for golf, there are too many courses to name! and for those looking for something a little more energetic, you could try some surfing lessons or visit Foxlake Adventures, Scotland’s first wakeboarding cable tow park. We recommend a day at the races at Musselburgh and don’t miss a visit and a wee dram at Glenkinchie Distillery.
Whatever time of year that you visit, there is something for everyone to enjoy in this special corner of Scotland.
Belhaven Brewery
Definitely worthwhile visiting (and within walking distance of the park if you fancy sampling!). You’ll need to book in advance.
Dunbar Golf Club
Dunbar Leisure Pool
Dunbar Town House Museum & Gallery
East Links Family Park
Where you can feed the goats, hens and llamas or hop on the miniature train which takes you around the 20 acres of farm animals. It also houses a giant maze and you can watch baby chicks hatching too! There’s a new cafe where you can relax and have a coffee or tea, or stay for lunch. It is only half a mile from our holiday park at Belhaven Bay.
Foxlake Adventures
John Muir’s Birthplace
Located in the centre of Dunbar. Now a museum dedicated to the famous conservationist. There are family workshops throughout the year. Entry is free.
Victoria Harbour
Loved it! Great showering facility and kitchen area. Play park for kids was brilliant and so close to the beach. We will be back!
This was the best we have stayed at this year. Very impressed with the toilet/showers etc. Staff were very helpful and pleasant, they were not too busy for a chat on site seemed as though they were interested in who you were and what you had to talk about which is good as it made you feel welcome and inviting to come back again.
I love my weekends at Belhaven Bay, it’s beautiful, peaceful, ideal location and the staff are all very friendly and helpful. Keep up the good work.
I really enjoyed my stay, staff member Dianne was very helpful and assisting. I like that they also do nice fresh morning rolls in at reception. The park is very well maintained and I loved the upgrade on the shower blocks- the showers are great . Excellent location.
About my 4th time staying there and plan to return with a larger group in August. Fantastic location with beach on your doorstep and East links farm if weather is poor.
Excellent break and very much exceeded our expectations. Excellent facilities and setting.
We will be back next August for the third year running as a family of 19 all very much enjoyed our stay and Belhaven Bay is by far the best!
Enjoyed it very much. It was my first holiday as a single parent with a toddler and it was ideal. He had so much there to entertain him and we both enjoyed the scenery. He asks to go back to the wigwam most days!
The shower block at Belhaven was a delight – thoroughly clean and very welcoming.
I have stayed 3 times at the Tantallon site and tried the Dunbar one for a short break. Both are fantastic sites that I highly recommend to friends and family.
We love this park!! The staff are so friendly and helpful and it is so laid back!! I particularly like the fact that it is not rule bound like so many others. We will be back as soon as finances allow!
Enjoyed the area for walking – very peaceful. Bus stops at entrance to site and other facilities close by.
