The ancient, charming town of St. Andrews located on the Fife coastline, with its castle and cathedral on the steep cliffs overlooking the sea, is world famous due to its significant place in the history of religion, the 15th century University and, of course - Golf. St. Andrews, with the Royal and Ancient golf club, is the undisputed international Mecca for golfers as the Home of Golf. But you don't have to play golf to enjoy a visit. The bracing fresh North Sea air provides a naturally beneficial and refreshing environment while the never-ending sea and sky create a painterly landscape. The fantastic West Sands beach - popular with kite flyers as well as surfers tackling the big breakers out at sea - stretches for miles and will provide just the perfect exercise before or after a meal at the Seafood Restaurant. This is located five minutes walk from the beach (and town centre), near the Aquarium - also well worth a visit to see seahorses, seals and sharks.
