Portobello Beach is Edinburgh's year-round seaside resort, with miles of award-winning sandy beach on the city's doorstep. Families can build sandcastles, paddle in the shallows or take a dip in the sea, then warm up in the ice cream parlours, arcades and beach-side cafes and bars that line the seafront, many with stunning sea views. It is the perfect place for a sunny afternoon, or a winter stroll to blow away the cobwebs, and a popular weekly market adds to the seaside atmosphere.
