New Countess Park

New Countess Park sits on the edge of Dunbar, a proper working sports ground that locals actually use rather than just pass through. It's home to the town's football club, and on match days there's genuine atmosphere - the kind you don't get at polished stadiums. The pitch itself is well-maintained, surrounded by modest stands and the sort of community spirit that makes Scottish football what it is.

If you're staying at Belhaven Bay Caravan Park just down the road, it's worth timing a visit around a home fixture if you want to experience Dunbar as locals do. Even on non-match days, the ground tells you something about the town - it matters here. The walk from the caravan park takes barely ten minutes, which is handy if you've got restless kids after a day of beach time.

Football fans will find more to engage with than casual visitors. Dunbar's a coastal town with better draws - the harbour, the castle ruins, the decent beach at Belhaven itself. But if you're here during the season and fancy standing among proper supporters rather than tourists, New Countess Park gives you that. It's free to watch training and community matches depending on the schedule, though official fixtures will have admission. Worth a look if the timing works, less so if you're making a special trip. Check with the ground directly about what's on - these details change seasonally.
