There are several outstanding beaches in the area:

Elie (5 miles) – a wide flat beach on which cricket is played on summer Sundays.
St Andrews (9 miles) has 2 good beaches, East and West Sands.
Anstruther beach is good to explore at low tide.

Anstruther is just 9 miles from the world-famous home of golf, St Andrews, with its seven courses including the famous Old Course. 4 miles away is Crail (Balcomie Links), 5 miles from Elie and Earlsferry courses, 7 miles from the championship course at Kingsbarns (home to the Dunhill Cup in 2008). Also close by is St Andrews Bay (Fairmont Hotel).
Anstruther's own golf course is only 10 minutes walk or a 2 minute drive, and offers reasonably priced golf with stunning views out to sea. Slightly further afield is Lundin Links (20 minutes drive), with Carnoustie only around 35 miles away.
Travel
Anstruther is easily reached by road and is just over an hour's drive from Edinburgh. Several cheap airlines including Flybe, Easyjet and BMIbaby fly to Edinburgh from UK cities, as well as major airlines such as BA and BMI. There are several car hire companies in Edinburgh airport. You can also get there by bus, there is a regular service from Edinburgh. Car is recommended.
Further details
In Anstruther itself, visit the Scottish Fisheries Museum, or take a boat trip out to the isle of May. Enjoy the local beaches, take time out at one of the many excellent seafront cafes, stroll round the harbour or take a walk along the coastal path. There is a golf course 10 minutes walk away, a children's playground and tennis courts just next to the house.
It's worth a trip to some of the other East Neuk villages, particularly Pittenweem, which still has a fishing fleet and a fish market during the week. During August the village hosts an excellent Arts Festival. Also Crail and St Monans are worth a visit.
St Andrews is a beautiful university town with much history and excellent cafes, restaurants, bars and shops. For kids, the best beach is the West Sands which is right alongside the Old Course. The aquarium is very good and a great rainy-day option. There is also a good swimming pool at the East Sands Leisure Centre. St Andrews Botanic gardens are lovely on a nice day.
For watersports enthusiasts, or beginners, there is a good watersports centre in Elie. Other places of interest include Kellie Castle, Falkland Palace, Cambo House. St Andrews Castle and Cathedral, The Secret Bunker.
There are several shops in Anstruther including a large Co-op supermarket, butcher, baker, fishmonger, post office and 2 banks. There are several good cafes and restaurants, and a couple for good pubs. We provide full information on these nearer to your stay.
