Portobello Beach

Address Portobello, Edinburgh, Scotland Map, Website

Edinburgh is a fantastic city with countless activities for children. If you want to get away from the hussle and bustle take a number 26 bus from the city centre to Portobello Beach. It's a great place to walk with your baby in the pram or to let the kids run around, paddle or build sandcastles. Afterwards, head to The Beach House for lunch or a delicious home made cake. It's really child friendly and even has games to keep the kids amused. more
