Overall Rating
Good
Great spot to take a stroll alongside the beach.
Disabled Access In and Around
Good
Access from nearby streets and a wide and smooth surface make for great wheelchair access. You can get down on to the beach at points but this isn't recommended unless you have a beach wheelchair. There are plenty of places to stop and sit and admire the fantastic views. There are a couple of cafés where you can get a coffee and in the summer the odd ice cream van appears.
Parking & Transport
Good
Parking is available at points along the promenade in the adjacent side streets. There is also parking at the west end. Buses pass along Portobello's main street some 500 metres from the Prom.
Accessible Toilets
Good
Toilets are available at the east end of the promenade where there's an accessible loo. A RADAR key is required for access. This loo is OK but not very spacious, even a bit tight, if you happen to be a powerchair user. Midway along the prom there is one of those automated loos. A RADAR key gives free access.
Additional Information
Great for a walk down by the seaside!
