We’ll discover an amazing variety of different types of pebble, find out where they come from and what they tell us about Scotland’s geology. We’ll also explore why the beach looks the way it does, and how it might change in the next few decades with climate change.

Please dress for the weather. Warm clothing and strong footwear advised. Events take place close to access points but you may need to walk up to 100 metres on sand or pebbles and negotiate ramps or steps. Children must be accompanied by an adult. All participants require a ticket.

Beach-suitable wheelchairs are available to book at Portobello Beach.

Portobello Beach: meet at the end of King’s Road, Portobello, EH15 1DX.
