Dunbar is a beach break located on the east coast of Scotland. It's a spot that's pretty accessible, with parking available at Belhaven or John Muir Country Park. The area offers a relaxed vibe, making it suitable for surfers looking for a casual day on the waves.

The surf here can be a bit inconsistent, but when conditions align, it's beginner-friendly, especially with swells coming from the NorthEast and East. It handles swell sizes around 1ft (0.3m) well, making it a decent choice for those just starting out. You'll find both left and right waves breaking over sand, which is generally easier to ride. The best time to hit the water is during mid to high tides, and a southwesterly wind helps create better conditions.

While Dunbar is great for beginners, more experienced surfers might find it lacking in excitement when the swell is low. It’s a good place for novices to practice their skills without the pressure of bigger waves. Just keep an eye on the swell forecast and tide charts for the best days to surf.
