Welcome to the Dunbar Harbour Web site
Dunbar Harbour, based 30 miles to the east of Edinburgh on the South East Coast provides berthing for fishing, leisure and small commercial crafts and is home to the Dunbar Inshore Lifeboat.
The Harbour is at the heart of Dunbar with a range of services and supplies within easy walking distance.
Dunbar is just off the A1 with excellent links to Edinburgh (30 mins) and Newcastle to the South (2 hours).
The East Coast mainline station provides additional links to the major railways stations in both Scotland and England.
The bustling harbour has a history dating back to the 14th century with the ruins of Dunbar Castle still guarding the entrance.
The Harbour is popular with fishing boats and leisure craft in the summer and with a range of festivals and events in the town it provides a fantastic destination from both land and sea.
