The Berwickshire snorkel trail, featuring some of Berwickshire’s most beautiful bays and beaches, was launched in Eyemouth on the 25th July 2019 during the annual Herring Queen Festival. The snorkel trail was developed in partnership with Berwickshire Marine Reserve. The self-led trail identifies areas for beginner and advanced snorkellers to explore within the Berwickshire Marine Reserve, which covers eight kilometres of coastline between St Abbs Head and Eyemouth.

The Berwickshire Marine Reserve was created in 1984 to conserve and protect the rich marine life of the area and promote responsible recreational use alongside a sustainable commercial fishery. The area is a hotspot for Scottish snorkelling and SCUBA diving, and supports a thriving commercial crab and lobster fishery.

The Berwickshire snorkel trail has been updated and will be relaunched during Scotland’s first Snorkel Festival in Eyemouth on Saturday 28th – Sunday 29th June – save the date!
