Scotland's smallest working harbour, reached down a small toll road, with Bass Rock's gannet colony close enough to feel present rather than distant. Quieter than Gullane or Yellowcraig because of the toll, and the beach itself is rockier so check conditions before swimming.
Small private-road-access beach (toll road) but publicly accessible on foot/bike; less crowded, keep exact coords as it's a known destination.
Small car park at end of toll/private road from Auldhame (small fee for cars).
Short walk down to Scotland's smallest working harbour and beach.
