Sandy expanse on the Firth of Forth with wide seascapes, tidal mudflats, rock pools and distant islands—ideal for sunrise/sunset colors, stormy skies and long coastal exposures. Easy to reach by car (promenade parking) or train to Musselburgh station; free access. Best at low tide for foreground textures and at golden hour for warm light. Weekday mornings are quieter; winter brings dramatic clouds and rough seas.
