Portobello - West (Kings Road) Beach

West beach forms the northern section of the 2-mile stretch of sandy coast in the Edinburgh suburb of Portobello.

Turning left at the end of King’s Road a promenade heads north-west past the bus depot towards Craigentinny Golf Course.  Alternatively, head south-east, down the promenade, past the southern sections of Portobello Beach, towards Joppa.  This makes a pleasant walk whatever the time of year. 

There is a choice of cafes and other amenities to be found along the promenade.  A number of events are organised along the beach, including volleyball events, boating competitions and triathlons.
