Beach overall scores
Tyninghame Beach (East Lothian) is located outside the Scoughall 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
"The beach is absolutely stunning, with numerous pathways that can lead you astray and a leisurely 15-minute stroll to reach the shore (although it may take longer if you, like us, venture all the way to the end 😅). The beauty of the beach truly shines when the sun is shining. However, parking can be a bit challenging as there are limited spaces available."

"Fantastic sandy white shoreline! Just make sure to pack all your snacks, beverages, and picnic mat since it's quite a distance from the parking lot..but definitely worth the effort!"
