Musselburgh Lagoons

Lovely place. Always a great walk.

The Lagoons in Musselburgh are a great retreat for birdwatchers and walkers alike. The area is within easy reach by foot or by bike from Musselburgh. There are seats available in various locations and three good hides, no roof though so bear this in mind if a slightly damp day!Most dog walkers i saw had their dogs on leads, but a few unfortunately let them run wild which was not great for wildlife or other people trying to enjoy the outdoors and area.There is also parking in various locations, if parking right beside the Lagoons,the road in does have a fair few holes, bumps and a gravel road so may be easier walking or cycling from Musselburgh or other local car parks.

I like this place, but don't expect much attractions. It's a great place for bird watching and simply walking. At the Boating lake there is a picking table. Nice walking spot but if you bring dogs with you, please make sure they are on lead all the time, as this place is important for birds and other wildlife. Also the grit road to the parking was very very bumpy after some rainy days.

We stopped off to have a wander and spent a few hours watching the birds and wildlife , this really is a lovely nature reserve with miles of walks and lots of birds to see on the lagoons .

A lovely place to spend a few hours. Lovely walking area with lakes and coastal walks.

A nice place to visit. Green and clean place by the sea, you can see a lot of birds. There is a bird watching hide out as well. You will find people paddling on the lake or having a picnic. There is a small car park, no toilets though. Lovely to walk or cycle.

Lovely nature reserve, great hides, though be better with roofs on! Plenty of birds about and easy walk to the coast path

You can't access the lagoons, there are lots of tall barriers and only a few brick enclosures that more closely resemble the type of wall you would imagine being used in war to protect oneself from enemy fire. In trying to protect this nature reserve, they have denied anyone access to it. It is no longer a nature reserve but instead a dystopian safari park where we are put in cages in order to protect the wildlife.""

Good place for birds watching. Please pay attention the road to carpark is very bumpy. Lots of holes.
