Portobello Promenade

The crown jewel of Edinburgh’s favourite seaside suburb, the Portobello Promenade is just east of the city centre. Built in the classical Victorian style, the adjacent beach is popular with swimmers throughout the year and has a Marine Conservation recommendation for its water quality. It’s also home to dozens of speciality food shacks and pop-ups.
