    Date of visit: April 2014

    I am a carer or friend of a disabled person. I have experience of challenges around: dexterity or coordination and seeing.

    Still tricky to get onto but much cleaner and more dog-friendly than ever!

    Access to the beach is as simple as a beach could realistically be; there are no steps from 'street-to-sand', though the ground is understandably a tad uneven. With a little care, my mother and her guide dog negotiated the terrain and we were on the beach. A wheelchair user would likely be able to access the beach but it would be better to take someone to provide some assistance.

    Wardie Bay is on one of North Edinburgh's main roads, there is a bus stop right by the entrance to the beach, no parking space nearby that I'm aware of.

    There seems to be a rogue picture of Thomas the Tank Engine in this review!

    And they've really gone to town with this beach lately. Much, much cleaner. Worth taking a walk along the breakwater there. Could be a tad tricky as there are some uneven sections but when I was there the other day one brave guy had managed to get to the end in a mobility scooter.
