Beach overall scores
Seton Sands Beach (East Lothian) is located outside the Aberlady settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the sunny coast, but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"Definitely worth checking out. The beach is stunning and well-maintained, with convenient access from the car parks. The car parks use RingGo and have restroom facilities. Some even have coffee vans available. 👌🏼"
