Overview

This section of the Fife Coast Path starts with a long beach covered in shells, and then passes a nature reserve popular with birdwatchers, before rounding Kincraig Head on high cliffs. The next village is Elie and from there the coast is attractive, passing the ruins of a clifftop castle before reaching St. Monans.
