Yellowcraigs

Yellowcraigs, less commonly known as Broad Sands Bay, is a coastal area of forest, beach and grassland in East Lothian, south-east Scotland. Yellowcraigs is designated as a Local Nature Reserve and a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). It is bordered to the north by the Firth of Forth, to the south by the village of Dirleton and Dirleton Castle, to the east by the North Berwick West Links golf course, and to the west by the Archerfield Estate and Links golf courses.

Access to Yellowcraigs is by the A198 coastal route through Dirleton. A visitor car park lies convert|270|m|yd south of the beach, for which there is a small charge during summer months. The area includes information displays, a barbecue area and a woodland adventure playpark.

Yellowcraigs is part of the John Muir Way, a convert|73|km|mi long distance footpath between Fisherrow, Musselburgh and Dunglass, named in honour of the conservationist John Muir, who was born in Dunbar. In the series of leaflets on the John Muir Way, Yellowcraigs features in the leaflet "Aberlady to North Berwick". The John Muir Way is part of the North Sea Trail, a network of paths in seven countries and 26 areas around the North Sea.

The island of Fidra, reputedly the inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island", lies just to the north-west and is an RSPB nature reserve.
