What visitors say
Loved this walking part of the Fife coastal path from kingsbarn to St andrews. 18km in total. Parked in St Andrews and got the bus back. Started with burgers at the snack van near the beach. Really nice rock formations. Watch out for the tide. We timed it perfectly.

Beautiful sandy beach with well serviced and maintained car park. Controlled overnight stays for motorhome and campers. Polite and helpful staff. Regularly emptied bins. Couldn't fault it.

We got up super early to capture the sunrise at the beach & oh my God, it was absolutely stunning & magical! Beautiful beach that was very easy to get to & access. Decent to walk on; fairly smooth & firm so you don't sink too much!
