Beach

St Andrews West Sands is a famous beach in the Kingdom of Fife, known for its appearance in the film Chariots of Fire. Stretching almost 2 miles, this sandy paradise is perfect for walks, runs, and even a dip in the sea. With lifeguards on duty during peak season, plenty of parking, and nearby shops and restaurants, it's a great spot for a day out by the coast. Plus, you can check out the British Golf Museum or explore the castle and cathedral if the weather turns sour. So grab your flip flops and sunscreen, and head to West Sands for a fun-filled beach day!
