60 Things to do in Dunbar

Dunbar, situated on the east coast of Scotland 30 miles from Edinburgh, is famous for its sunshine, spectacular coastline and Christmas Lights (or it should be)!

It is also the birthplace of the pioneering American naturalist, John Muir. 

However, this town has so much else to offer and we invite you to come and explore it with this list of 60 things (in no particular order), as a starting point.  Get out on the water, be active on the land and above all have fun with your kids (or spoil your inner kid).

In every walk with nature one receives more than he seeks”

- John Muir

On Water

Dunbar is blessed with rugged coastline and expansive beaches and the North Sea stretches as far as the eye can see.

Surf at one of Scotland's best beaches or wakeboard at one of the UK's best cable parks. The Dunbar coast is also a great location for many other watersports including coasteering, kite surfing and Stand Up Paddle (SUP) boarding.

On Land

For a small town Dunbar has excellent facilities and a diverse range of activities to take part in. Walk with alpacas or take to the skies - there are some unusual suggestions for you too.

Marking the shortest day of the year the Winter So Marking the shortest day of the year the Winter Solstice (21 Dec) also signifies the start of longer days although this means increasingly less time to enjoy the beauty of Dunbar’s Harbour at night. A walk through the harbour and under Dunbar’s famously festive High Street lights in the evening is as atmospheric as some paid for illuminated experiences.
