What to see and do in
Port Seton Harbour is a working harbour and when the fishing fleet is in port there is a busy hustle and bustle about the whole area with the fishermen unloading their catches and the fish merchants transporting their fish to the various stores. The harbour is also home to many pleasure craft and yachts and offers a safe haven to passing yachtsmen.

The Golf Course at nearby Longniddry offers the golfer an interesting links course, or a pleasant walk can be taken along the promenade to the two mile stretch of Seton Sands where you can relax on the beach.

Chalmers Memorial Church still retains some of the internel features of the original Free Church. Seton House and the Collegiate Church to the south of the town are popular with those who have an interest in Buildings and History.
