Full of wildlife and good place for hiking. Aberlady Bay in East Lothian, Scotland lies between Aberlady and Gullane. Aberlady Bay coastline In 1952, Aberlady Bay became the UK's first Local Nature Reserve (LNR) and is served by the East Lothian Council Rangers. The Scottish Ornithologists' Club has Waterston House as its headquarters at Aberlady, with panoramic views of the bay. Aberlady Bay is part of the John Muir Way, a long distance footpath from Fisherrow (Musselburgh) to Dunglass. It is also the East Lothian Section of the transnational North Sea Trail, a path network connecting seven countries and 26 areas. Two wrecks of XT-craft, training versions of the X craft, can be seen. In 1946, the craft were towed to the bay, then moored to a concrete block and used for target practice by aircraft of the Royal Air Force. The wrecks of the submarines lie much closer to the low-water mark than the high-water mark, and tides in the bay rise very quickly. Totally stunning nature reserve and beach. Amazing place to come and watch Roe Deer and take a break from the 9 to 5. Gorgeous spot and well worth a visit but there are a few things you need to know before you go. No dogs. Parking is extremely limited, so unless you are off season or well off peak you probably need to park safely & legally by the village and back up the road. The through the reserve on sandy trails is lovely with lots of birds/insects but for most people the destination is the beach, which is gorgeous & very quiet compared to others on the East Lothian coast precisely because of the walk. No facilities or shops at the car park or reserve so bring everything you need and carry out all your rubbish. Enjoy Beautiful through the nature reserve and onto the pristine beach, even saw a couple of seals. I don't want you to know about this. It's a wee gem of a spot. The eagle to the is beautiful and the at the end of incredible £3 parking but lovely little beach, pretty short walk. Main stairs down to the are quite large and steep so you need to be careful, not suitable for small elderly dogs, they need carried down the bottom steps. Be aware, surrounding beaches do not allow dogs and direct them to this so it is overcrowded with dogs running around off leash in droves. A nice, easy to an incredible beach. Probably best to go, when the tide is not too high, to enjoy the wide beach. We saw deer and, of course, a variety of seagulls.
