Coastal lagoons, saltmarsh and dunes offering strong birdlife, mirrored water and wide skies with views across the Firth of Forth. Ideal for bird and waterscape photography at low tide, and dramatic sunrise/sunset light. Easily reached from Musselburgh town (train and local parking); flat paths make the site accessible year-round. No entry fee; expect more birds in winter/migration seasons and fewer people on weekday mornings.
