Local
North Berwick was very much a tourist destination after the railway opened, earning the name 'The Biarritz of the North'. Biarritz, a Atlantic coastal town, was developed as a tourist destination at the same time in the 1850s and was a popular place to stay for royal families. With Edinburgh in easy reach from North Berwick it is also a commuter town.
There are sandy beaches and the North Berwick Law is a viewpoint.
In the harbour is the Scottish Seabird Centre .
