About
Snabba fakta: A vibrant hub for adrenaline junkies, you can try windsurfing, paddleboarding, or even kite surfing with stunning views of the Firth of Forth. Local instructors offer lessons right on the beach, making it easy to jump in even if you're a beginner.
Höjdpunkter: During calm mornings, the water mirrors the pastel skies, creating a surreal backdrop for water sports; some say the light here makes it feel like floating in a painting. The beach buzzes with colorful sails and boards, giving it an artistic, almost festival-like vibe on sunny days.
Insider tips
- Wear water-resistant clothing or a wetsuit to stay comfortable in chilly waters.
- Arrive early morning for the calmest waters and best photo light.
- Bring a waterproof camera or case to capture your action-packed moments.
- Avoid weekends if you prefer fewer crowds and better rental availability.
