I'm staying in a Caravan in Eyemouth for a few days with the fam. Hit me up with rad stuff to do in the area. Bike time will be tricky to find.

Lots of good walking in the area and some good road bike routes too.

St Abbs Head is nice place to spend some time with the family. Berwick is a great little town to explore and the kids will love the ramparts - be careful H&S hasn't reached there yet so you can literally fall off them.

Look on the local tourism websites for ideas

Hose World in Eyemouth looks intriguing.

As above, St Abbs Head is a good spot.

Although over the Border, you are not far from the usual Northumberland attractions, Holy Island worth a visit if you haven't been, does get rammed at peak times though.

The chippy in Eyemouth is supposed to be fab.

This is lurking down near the quay

Chippy and ice cream parlour plus feed the Seal. Never stayed long in the place as we use it as a stopping point when travelling up that way.
About 1/2 hour away is a place called East Fortune and there's an Aircraft museum there. Never been to it but seems popular and seen a Vulcan bomber from the Racetrack I go to nearby.

McKays fish and chips is better than Giacopazzis but smaller portions.
There's a 'trendy bar' next to Giacopazzis
You can feed the seals
The little sculpture/monument to the fishing disaster is brilliant.
Gunsgreen House might be OK - don't know.

That's about it in the town.

Round about:
Berwick, Alnwick etc
Edins Hall Broch
St Abbs Head harbour. Nature reserve OK if birds are nesting.
Pre book a tour of Torness Power Station
Picnic at Cove Harbour
Go surfing in Dunbar
Decent pint in the Craw Inn
Quiet roads for road biking
Take a trip up the Tweed for sightseeing.
Dunglass has the ruins of a nice old church and a walk down to a rocky beach with a sea stack - dangerous at high tide

If you like your coffee: Rialto on the High St.

Have a visit to Coldingham Beach 10 mins up the road from Eyemouth, there is a hotel/bar (St Veda's) there as well as surfing. Chilly but good fun.

Two hours max in Eyemouth, watch the gulls they will attack for your chips maybe even crap on you if you're lucky. Watch the tide come and go, hope the wind is not an Easterly. St Abbs up the road for a day, bit adventure walk to Fast castle 5 miles further up the coast
