About this site
St Abbs sits on the North Sea coast of the Scottish Borders, a small fishing village built around a harbour tucked beneath sandstone cliffs. The Harbour Wall dive site takes its name from this harbour structure, part of the St Abbs and Eyemouth Voluntary Marine Reserve that covers the rocky coastline here. It is a shallow site, with a maximum depth of around 10 metres, making it an easy option close to shore. The reserve is known for its cold, nutrient rich waters shaped by the North Sea.
