Dunbar has its very own well-established Surf School over at Belhaven Beach.

Coast to Coast also have surf equipment for hire for all levels. You can hire at Belhaven beach at lesson times (no roof rack required!) or from the Dunbar office during working hours (and a free soft roof rack for bigger boards or smaller cars!) Costs of hire are very reasonable between £10 and £15.

If you want to learn the basics or build your skills, there are a wide range of surf lessons available for adults, children and groups. Prices vary from £30 for beginner classes for the young ones to £55 for longer advanced sessions.

Here is a late 19th Century view in the days before the car and electricity from a postcard of the period. The view looks south to the now deconsecrated church, which is about to be restored as a private home after a period of dereliction. Gas clearly had arrived, used for street lighting which testifies to the former affluence of the town.

The Lion and the Unicorn on the tall Victorian tenement building are only just visible and beyond that the tenements at Templelands are set back but noticeable where the High Street starts to widen.
