Now a sign at entrance stating no overnight parking Mon-Sun 10pm-6am
Parking en bord de mer, vue imprenable sur la baie de "Firh of Forth". Aucun service sur place. Un parc juste à côté avec piste cyclable et commerces à proximité. Plage de galets au bas du parking. Un seul reproche : propreté moyenne.
Parking by the sea, stunning views over the bay of "Firh of Forth". No service on site. A park just next door with cycle path and shops nearby. Pebble beach at the bottom of the car park. Only one complaint: average cleanliness. (You cant be here Form 10PM - 8AM)
Parken am Meer, atemberaubender Blick über die Bucht von "Firh of Forth". Kein Service vor Ort. Ein Park gleich nebenan mit Radweg und Geschäften in der Nähe. Kieselstrand am Ende des Parkplatzes. Einziger Kritikpunkt: durchschnittliche Sauberkeit.

Great view of Edinburgh and the Forth. Lidl (with toilet) next door. Right by the water. Lovely.
- GlenMoore14/08/2022
lovely place to stop over for the night, higher vans beware of 2.1m barrier. Gravel car park over looking the sea with no restrictions beautiful sunset, Lidl with toilets 2 mins walk. Good size field behind for a walk Pretty quiet only one other van while we are here although it's only 10pm
stavroselgreko31/07/2022Handy little place with lovely views and plenty of room relatively flat and a lidl 2 minutes walk away takeaways and shops not far either
- jamesjr09/07/2022
Wow, I watched a beautiful sunset as I arrived. There is a 2.1m barrier, so small vans only only you have a sneaky pop-top, like one did :) a few potholes and gravel surface. But that was good as not a place to race around. Large space. Couple of cars came and went late at night,!M but no bother. Quiet in morning, just us campers. View across to Arthur’s seat!
yahns06/07/2022On a passé une bonne nuit, pour aller au toilette il faut aller dans le lidl à côté, l'endroit était chouette et agréable.
- Bongodom04/07/2022
2.1 barrier in place now. Just off A1 I had a great overnight here on a journey from Inverness to Newcastle. Wonderful views of Edinburgh lights at night, and the Firth of Forth spread out before me in the morning. Very quiet, on my own overnight with a few dog walkers in the morning. No facilities.
nirci04/06/2022Super Parkplatz, standen hier eine Nacht. Viele Hundebesitzer und Sonnenuntergangs Touristen. Nachts ruhig. Um 4 Uhr kurzer Besuch der Polizei, sind aber nur vorbei gefahren. Super Ausblick. Lidl fussläufig erreichbar, mit WC
- Stewee224/05/2022
Stopped here on a Monday night in my t6 so easy under the 2.1m barrier, I was the only van on site very peaceful night and morning. Lidl very handy and plenty of takeaways within walking distance!
lj45422/04/2022lovely views out over the sea towards Edinburgh. ideal to watch the sunset. Busy with dog walkers and fitness parking till about 7pm then very quiet overnight. as others have said height barrier in place. local spot for me so will be back. Just a heads-up over summer the ground behind is used for fair rides thought the year.

Couple of level spots on car park nice quiet night dogs walkers all gone by 8pm seal spotting easy just before high tide and real nice view.
- steveynics26/08/2021
Stopped over night here on my way back from Skye, the sunset was BEAUTIFUL. Got busy around sunset time for people watching, after that, me and one other camper van. Big car park however only suitable for VW transporters etc, 2m sign as you drive in.
- KayleighGarner25/07/2021
Super close to Lidl. We were the only people left here at 10pm. Really quiet. It is midnight now and happy so far.
nottsanne04/07/2021No good for us, 2m height barrier
- mrjwg24/06/2021
Parked ere the 1 nite, a big level gravel carpark on the waters edge, stunning views and sunset, a Lidl at the entrance an other shops nearby. No bother from locals an u get the usual dog walkers etc Beware the 2.1m height restriction at the entrance, ok for my vw campervan and similar, but sorry motor homes u just aint gunna fit. Would deffo use here again.
dekliz17/02/2020Sadly 2 meter Hight barrier now in place.
- Caddie02/09/2019
Great parking spot and awesome view. Very close to this spot is lidl and You are in 15-20 min in Edinburgh.
- foobar18/08/2019
Almost stayed the night, but three kids tried to steal our mountainbikes off the back of our Van, while we were sleeping. They ran a few meters and hid behind the grass, but stayed close until I turned on the flashlights. We left after this.
Francky3316/08/2019Après quelques inquiétudes en soirée avec arrivée de jeunes, voitures et musique...la nuit a été calme après leur départ vers 22h30. A éviter le WE je pense...
- bristeau11/08/2019
Emplacement bien au calme, vue mer imprenable, et commerce Lidl à proximité pratique !
- maximan03/08/2019
What a cracking spot ...wonderful evening amazing sunset ...
- Thorsten199424/07/2019
Toller Platz direkt am Meer und ruhig mit kurzer Zufahrt. Ideal für eine Nacht. Lidl direkt fußläufig um die Ecke. Sonnenuntergang inklusive :-)
- debsmick122/07/2019
We stop here all day and it was just fine until 8pm when all the boy racers turned up with the music so Loud we couldn’t hear the tv without turning it up so we left
- Captain-Monday07/07/2019
Quiet, plenty of space, great view and there are shops nearby.
007Eider03/07/2019Grand parking plat, vue sur mer, sans service mais lLIDL à côté avec toilettes de 8h à 22h.
- looky26/06/2019
Bon spot pour se reposer et promener son chien. L’endroit est calme la nuit.
- alexandersemme18/06/2019
Nachdem wir von Dover bis Edinburgh durch gefahren sind brauchten wir einen Ort zum Übernachten. Direkt am Wasser, schön zum spazieren gehen. Es standen auch jede Menge anderer Camper dort. Der Lidl direkt neben an ist groß mit guter Auswahl und hat einen Backshop für das Frühstück. Zusätzlich gibt es im Lidl eine Toilette (bis 22:00 geöffnet).
- Billyelliot24/05/2019
Great overnight stay, flat gravel. Parked overlooking sea. Very windy night but quiet. One more campervan there. Lidl a few yards away with a toilet. This is our 1st stop using this site..
- nitanonus13/05/2019
Only 24 minutes from Holyrood Palace... beautiful views.. few other Motorhome’s here but plenty of space
- ycvoyage11/05/2019
Parking super. Calme avec soleil couchant. Merci à la municipalité de nous laisser nous poser ici.
- curson28/04/2019
Amazing spot, silent, great sea view. Lidl close by
- viney19/04/2019
Beautiful view of sunset across the stony beach and the Firth of Forth. Very peaceful, no noise from the road. Convenient Lidl for anything you’ve forgotten! Lovely dog walking opportunities too. Council bin men came to empty bins and weren’t at all bothered by the other vans there. I definitely recommend it.
- lovetruck18/04/2019
Perfect to bike to Edinburgh: there is a trail along the coastline (approx. 15 km to the city center).
- drlizjones11/12/2018
Stayed here for one night — a great find. As a woman travelling alone I’m fairly careful about where I stop, but this felt very safe. Handy supermarkets and clean public toilets in the town.
- o.weiss23/08/2018
Lidl market nearby, offers toilet for customers. Nice view.
- walchfanny22/08/2018
Superbe vue
- capetcie16/08/2018
Calme, plat, jolie vue sur la mer.
- GwenSTAV09/07/2018
Très bien pour passer une nuit face à la mer. Nous étions 5 camping-cars. Beaucoup de place.
- steveathome15/06/2018
Nice place for a day or two. no worries at all.
- Baloo2A11/05/2018
Très bon spot pour la tranquillité. Proximité immédiate du magasin Lidl (300 m) ouvert également le dimanche. Il faut un peu viser entre les trous pour être à plat mais rien d'impossible. Quelques debris de plastiques traînent par-ci par-là mais rien de vraiment "sale". Parfait pour la nuit
- euramobil201730/09/2017
An excellent spot. Just after the Lidl store. A great place to watch the sunset too. Watch out for the potholes though.
- Stephan201723/08/2017
Parking très largement suffisant pour nos sept mètres. Les trous dans la chaussée oblige à la prudence mais nous avons pu trouver une place à l'horizontale sans problème. Faut dire que nous n'étions que deux véhicules sur tout le parking.
- manjakamad24/07/2017
Nous y avons passé deux nuits : super calme, vue magnifique, très beau coucher de soleil. Par contre, parking plein de nids d'autruche, pleins d'eau.
- alex788924/06/2017
Parking très très venteux le jour de notre passage nous avons changé de parking par contre très pratique Lidl à 1 minute a pied
- nico.claire29/05/2017
Très belle vue et nuit très tranquille !
- armand7423/05/2017
Jolie vue. Lidl juste à côté pour faire les courses.
- kinghornroad26/01/2017
A great view of sea and in the distance, Arthur's seat. A large space used by white van man during his lunch hour. These unfortunates tend to throw their rubbish out of the window. Park appropriately and you will soon forget the neglected area and enjoy the sea. I wonder if the council leaves it like this just to put us off?
- Louisc03/08/2016
Très bien, grand parking, calme, belle vue sur Edinburgh. Effectivement quelques déchets, mais pas forcément plus qu'ailleurs malheureusement.
