Edinburgh by the Sea
Local town and amenities
Joppa is situated to the east of Portobello - Edinburgh’s seaside town - and a bus ride away is the city of Edinburgh itself.
Historic Portobello, once a town in its own right, is now a bustling seaside suburb of Edinburgh. Packed with lovely independent shops - artisan bakeries, arts and crafts and a stunning book store - it’s only a stroll along the beach from the flat.
