Fife has a varied coastline along the Firth of Forth and North Sea, with sandy beaches, historic fishing villages and larger towns spread along the shore. The East Neuk is one of the best-known parts of the coast, linking places such as Elie, St Monans, Pittenweem, Anstruther and Crail. Further north, St Andrews has two large sandy beaches alongside its historic centre and famous golf courses. Much of the coastline can also be explored on foot using the Fife Coastal Path, which runs for 117 miles across the region.

Sea View Cottages Along the Fife Coast

Holiday cottages along the Fife coast range from properties in established seaside towns to stays in smaller coastal communities. Some look out towards the water, while others provide easy access to the shoreline without being directly on the coast.

With accommodation available in different parts of Fife, you can choose a setting that suits the type of break you are planning. Browse our Scotland cottages by the sea for more coastal accommodation.

 

St Andrews and the Beaches of North-East Fife

St Andrews combines a historic town with some of Fife’s largest beaches. West Sands stretches along the coast beside the famous links, while East Sands lies on the other side of town beside the old harbour. East Sands has parking, toilets, a café and direct access to the Fife Coastal Path.

Away from the beaches, you can visit the ruins of St Andrews Cathedral and St Andrews Castle or explore the medieval streets around the town centre. St Andrews is also known worldwide as the Home of Golf, with the Old Course and other courses beside the coast.

Kingsbarns lies further down the coast towards Crail, giving you another sandy beach and an easy way to combine St Andrews with the East Neuk during your stay.

 

Walk the Fife Coastal Path

The Fife Coastal Path is one of the best ways to explore the region. The complete route covers around 117 miles, running from Kincardine in West Fife to Newburgh on the River Tay. You can walk short sections rather than tackling the entire route.

The East Neuk section is particularly useful for linking several coastal villages in one walk. Elie, St Monans, Pittenweem, Anstruther and Crail all lie along the route, with harbours, beaches and rocky sections of shoreline along the way. The path then continues towards Kingsbarns and St Andrews.

Further west, the route passes places such as Aberdour, Burntisland and Kinghorn before continuing around the Fife coast. This gives you plenty of choices for shorter walks wherever you decide to stay.
