We recently did some coasteering along the Elie coastline with a company called Clan Adventures. Basically involves us donning wetsuits, helmets then jumping into the sea and travelling along the Elie coastline to find amazing views and participating in many cliff jumps into the sea (some as high as about 30ft), along with scrambling in and out of the water, traversing along cliff faces, exploring caves and admiring with awe, the huge basalt columns (reminiscent of the Giants Causeway) that make up some of the cliffs, and doing the Elie Chain walk (hauling yourself up a cliff face with the aid of a large metal chain). It cost us £40 each for about 3 hours of non-stop action and enjoyment. I couldnt find a link to Clan Adventures on here but I'df thoroughly recommend giving them a go if you fancy doing something a little different whilst in Fife.
When to this beach today for a winter walk to blow away the cobwebs. Having moved to the area just before Xmas we love exploring at weekend and had been recommend this as a lovely beach . They were not wrong. Clean yellow sand, rock pools. Clean water and miles and miles of it. Beautiful views . Village looks like something out of harry potter. We will be back when the sun shines as I think we have found our local summer hide out but a lovely winter walk in the mean time. Very few people just a couple of families and dog walkers but everyone was so friendly and went out of there way to say hello
Great wide bay with lovely sand. But, being East Scotland, don't expect hot sunny weather. We had wind, rain, even hail, and sunshine. But it was cold, so not for sunbathing. It confirmed my view that in Scotland 'going topless' means not wearing your woolly hat.
This has to be one of my favourite places.......even in the summer it is quiet.Stretching from elie to earls ferry the coast is stunning.....with a beautifully clean beach. A sprinkling of beach huts.....that you can hire....see the ads in the paper shop.
Very clean beach, safe for very young children, activities for the older children e.g. sailing.We have been holidaying in Elie for 8 years now and just love the beach.
It's a lovely beach. Clean and tidy. It's not a very windy beach either. The sea was actually pretty warm Aswell.
A lovely area with good parking and signposting to the most stunning beach areas. Picnic tables and walk along the coast of great historic interest. Just go!
A wide sweep of pristine sand, a joy to walk along, or view from the wonderful coastal path. Noticed that there seems to be some work underway to create more sand dunes, presumably to protect the many houses which are so close to the beach
Having never visited this area, let alone realise it was only a short drive from my home, Within minutes of arriving I fell in love with this area, all local facilities cater well for tourists & the local holiday lets are amazing and well maintained. I intend to make regular visits back to the area as it holds fond memories and the beach allows all age groups to run free with out the worries of pollution, dirt or rubbish. The Whole town is clean and well presented.
So nice and so chilled. Found this place on the way to the Chain walk which I really recommend Lots of dog walkers around so really friendly.
