Belhaven Bay is a beach situated within the John Muir Country Park. Backed by sand dunes, rich saltmarsh, and wildflower-rich grasslands, the beach is perfect for sunbathing, relaxing, or playing, and affords great views across the Forth Estuary.

Hiking

The bridge to nowhere. When tide is out you can cross over the river under the bridge but when tide is in it sits in the sea. Photographed by many and a very beautiful beach where some go surfing. Great views here of the Northern lights
