Working harbour but still very pretty - local chippy can sort you out with lunch to eat at the harbour. Be warned it gets busy in the summer.
Crail is a gorgeous town with a pretty little harbour which we visited on a lovely summer evening. A real treat.
Very picturesque harbour with a walk around the sea front which has great views out to sea. You can buy fresh fish from a hut in the harbour that's freshly caught.
What is there to say? I hadn't seen Crail since ... never mind how long! (Many years ago, I was at the JSSL in Crail - the Services language school). I remember Crail harbour as being extremely beautiful, and it didn't disappoint on the return visit.
A beautiful charming harbour. Walk down and wander around exploring is fun. Also explore the other east neck harbours, although similar they all have a different feel.
Quaint and unique. Man-made enclosure to keep vessels safe from storms. Unlike anything we had seen before. Lots of sea-shore walking available.
No cars are allowed past a certain point except for residents so it is a short walk to the harbor. Not much in the way of shops to explore but a photo opportunity every step of the way.
Crail Harbour is without doubt one of the most scenic places to visit in Scotland and the views from the harbour across the water to the May Island and beyond are fantastic
Well worth a visit, we enjoyed walking along the the costal path and down to the picturesque harbour. Village has a lovely, unspoilt, friendly atmosphere with genuine fishing still happening rather than set up for tourists. Though we were visiting out of season the place didn't feel "shut down" like many do. Would definitely recommend a visit. Will definitely be going back in the Summer.
Its no wonder this area is much used by painters and Photographers the harbour is very scenic and surrounded by the old houses with their traditional stepped gable ends, it is much in use by the crab and lobster fisherman and can be quite busy with tourists when they are unloading their catch . There is a hut on the Harbour that specialises in Dressed Crab and cooked Lobster they sell out very fast .....when its gone its gone ...I saw a French family tucking in to 2 lobsters that they had bought it just seemed perfectly natural , we have not really embraced the continental way with seafood . They were having a great repast with fresh bread they had bought ,sitting at one of the picnic tables on the harbour. The Harbour is also a good place for fishing when the tide is coming in with Mackerel and flatfish being caught
