User reviews
"The beach is absolutely beautiful, with genuine sand. There's even an ice cream truck nearby, and you can take a pleasant stroll on a causeway to reach an island. However, it's important to be cautious when the tide rises as there's a possibility of being marooned on the island. So, it's advisable to consult the tide chart before embarking on your adventure."
Stella Anderson
"It was a beautiful spot to take a leisurely walk by the seaside. During low tide, you have the opportunity to venture out to the nearby island, but make sure to keep track of the tide schedule. Cramond also offers a delightful pub where you can enjoy some refreshments and delicious food."
