Broughty Ferry Beach
This broad sandy beach at the mouth of the Tay estuary lies just to the east of the impressive Broughty Castle. As its name suggests Broughty Ferry was once a ferry port.

Carnoustie Beach
The small pretty beach in Carnoustie is located just a few minutes walking distance from the train station and town centre. The beach slopes gently into the sea, and at high tide the water can come all the way up to the sea wall. At low tide the distance to the water’s edge can be as much as 300 metres, so it is best to check the tide times before visiting.

Kinshaldy Beach
Kinshaldy beach is a popular day out for families from Fife and further afield, accessible via the long winding road through Leuchers, and the dense pine forest of Tentsmuir before reaching the high sand dunes before the beach. The forest and nature reserve cover 50 square miles in all and the beach is large, but it can get extremely busy when the sun shines with queues for parking forming early.
