Welcome to Belhaven Bay: John Muir Country Park

On Sunday May 3rd volunteers successfully completer the bridging of the 4 drainage creeks

Volunteers, under the guidance of countryside staff from East Lothian Council, are planning to tackle the creeks that cross the main horse path to Belhaven Bay.

A big thank you to the members of Belhaven Surf club and friends who once again cleared a stretch of Belhaven Bay on the 11th of April. If it wasn't for local volunteer effort such as this, the beach would not look as good as it does.

Hi, unfortunately I have to inform you that as of November 17th, a group of Travelling People have set up camp at Linkfield Car Park.

Regular users will know that a couple of the routes across the salt marsh are very wet and slippery at present. The countryside ranger service plans to undertake remedial work this winter to make it easier for walkers and riders to use these areas. So please respond to any temporarysignage that goes in place. Thanks

Ever wanted to do a bit to help understand our knowledge of John Muir Country Park?
