Save our Beach

We would like East Lothian Council to commission a study as to why all of the sand has disappeared from The East Beach in Dunbar.

Why is this important?

The beach was for many years, a very popular area for tourists and locals alike. In recent years, the groynes, believed to help retain the sand have fallen into disrepair. This has allowed the sand to migrate from the north side of the beach, leaving only rocks and exposed sewage pipework in its place.

We desperately need the groyne repaired, the beach cleaned up, and a comprehensive study undertaken to ascertain the best way to manage the beach in future.

The beach is the heart of our town. Right now it's broken.
Dunbar, East Lothian
