Six people have been arrested in connection with disorder in Portobello, and police say more may follow.
Officers responded to several incidents of antisocial behaviour involving youths over the course of the weekend as people flocked to the beach and promenade in warm weather.
There will be a "significant police presence" in the area in the coming days so officers are able to deal with troublemakers intent on causing bother.
They say six people have already been arrested following the weekend but enquiries will continue and more arrests may be made.
Chief Inspector Murray Tait, Local Area Commander for North East Edinburgh, said: "Our officers responded to a number of incidents involving youths in the Portobello area over the course of the weekend, including violence and antisocial behaviour.
"As a result of these reports, extensive enquiries have been undertaken and we can confirm that 6 arrests have been made to date. Further enquiries remain ongoing.
"It was unfortunate to see a small minority ruin the good weather for the rest of the community with their actions which have no place in Portobello. I want to make it absolutely clear that those who attend with the intention of causing violence and disorder are not welcome. Portobello Beach is a fantastic area, with great local businesses and is enjoyed by many families and young children who come to visit the area.
"I would like to reassure the public that there will be a significant police presence in the area, so we can robustly deal with anyone causing issues in the coming days. If you have any concerns about criminality, please speak to officers, call 101, or call 999 in an emergency."
