Fife Coastal Path (St Andrews–Crail)

Fife Coastal Path

A roughly 190 km long-distance trail in Scotland. The stretch from St Andrews to Crail has the most natural cliffs, reefs and sea caves.

The Fife Coastal Path runs from the Firth of Forth to the Tay estuary. The most popular section is on the East Neuk. From St Andrews to Crail is about 21 km, passing rocky shores, Kingsbarns beach and Cambo, where you can see the Devil's Chimneys sea stacks. From Crail to Elie is about 18 km, linking several fishing villages. For an easier outing, walk only the 6 km from Crail to Anstruther. Some sections are cut off at high tide, so check the tides before setting out.
