Newhaven Harbour
Pier PlaceNot a beach but a good long bracing walk by the sea.
Personal highlight. Find the walkway from Victoria Park and walk to Leith (10 minutes) or up into the city passing the Botanic Gardens (20 minutes) and on up to Stockbridge (Sunday market, charity shops, pubs and cool hang outs), Dean Village and the two National Galleries of Modern Art. A great way to spend a Sunday - or a weekday (when it's less busy). You can cycle this path too.
