Portobello Beach

Portobello Beach Attractions in Edinburgh: Read reviews written by 10Best experts and explore user ratings. Portobello Beach is a beach resort located on the outskirts of Edinburgh. It was initially outside the city limits, but became a suburb of the capital as it expanded. There is a long promenade skirting the edge of the beach with an amusement arcade, a very good café selling delicious ice cream and a lovely children's play park. The beach itself is very well maintained and extremely popular with sun worshippers and picnicking families on a sunny day. Portobello Kayaking and Sailing Club (PSKC) operate from the beach so you will often see groups of adults and children sailing dinghies and kayaks to the beach.
