An area of forest, beach and grassland in south-east Scotland, officially designated as a nature reserve and an SSI (site of Scientific Interest). Bordered to the north by the Firth of Forth, to the south by the village of Dirleton, to the east by the North Berwick West Links golf course and to the west by the Archerfield Estate and Archerfield Links golf courses. The island of Fidra, reputedly the inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island lies just to the north-west.

A visitor car park lies 300 yards south of the beach for which there is a small charge during summer months (approx. £1.00). Recent enhancements to the area include new information displays, a barbecue area and a woodland adventure playpark.

Access to Yellowcraigs is by the A198 coastal route through Dirleton.
