Family Fun

North Berwick always has been, and always will be, a fantastic choice for a family holiday. Apart from a day on the beach, building sandcastles, flying kites and splashing in the water, there are a host of great places to visit that will keep your little ones occupied and fascinated for hours on end.

If it’s the great outdoors you’re looking for we have it in abundance, with miles and miles of beautiful beaches, perfect for picnics, rock-pooling or long strolls along the sandy bays. There are lots of places to visit, from castles to farm parks and aeroplanes – big ones including Concorde!

For something quite different, what about a Mackerel, fishing trip in the summer for families?  There are also, year round fishing trips, which can be customised to your requirements.  Check out Braveheart Boat trips, for more information.

North Berwick has some great children’s play parks, suitable from tots right through to teens, including the Lodge Grounds and our Recreation Park. Lauderdale Park in Dunbar is situated within a walled garden, complete with café for coffee and cakes, and at the beach at Yellowcraig there is an adventure play area with woodland walks leading to the beach.

There are soft play areas at North Berwick Sports Centre and the Scottish Seabird Centre, and Dunbar Leisure Pool provides the utmost in aquatic fun with its flume, wave machine and water features. Haddington Sports Centre has a dedicated children’s pool ideal for kids learning to swim.

Lots of family fun!
