Emily's Guide to St Andrews

Famous for the opening scenes of the film Chariots of Fire, West Sands extends for almost 2 miles of uninterrupted sand backed with dunes and the world-renowned golf course. West Sands is about a 15 minute walk from the town centre. There is plenty of car parking

Great beach for digging sandcastles, walking the dog and watching surfers. Grab a snack at the Cheese Toasty Shack! Located on the south side of the old harbour, St. Andrews East Sands is a popular beach destination for both locals and visitors to Fife. The sandy beach has a path on the inland side, making it an ideal location for walkers. It is also within close proximity to the harbour and sailing club, so perfect for a wide variety of water sports

Great cocktails, classy scene

A short drive or bus ride from St Andrews out towards Guardbridge. Pick up some fresh local produce, eat scones at the cafe or book yourselves a table in the Steak Barn and enjoy local beef grilled to perfection!

Enjoy walks through the beautiful Cambo Estate, freshly prepared food and coffee in the courtyard cafe and pick up some plants from the nursery.
