Anstruther Lifeboat Station

Anstruther Lifeboat Station is available to the public to visit for most of the year. Displays and films illustrate the history and work of the RNLI. The viewing gallery provides a close-up view of the lifeboat (when it's at home and not out on a call!)

Reviewed By I4984FMjohnt - Aviemore, United Kingdom

The RNLI volunteers at Anstruther - other lifeboat stations are available - do an amazing job, whether raising funds or saving lives. Well worth a look at their 1991 Mersey class self-righting offshore lifeboat, the "Kingdom of Fife". In the unfortunate circumstance that you ever see it in from the North Sea or the Firth of Forth, it's likely to be one of the most welcome sights in your life.

Billow Ness Beach

Reviewed By teruyo1952

Can walk peaceful and safety for everybody and with pet animals also if would you like to. This beach is sandy beach but are much small shells and much seaweed and much stones also. Psalms 115:13 He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great. Blessing!

Reviewed By Maisie2222 - Leyland, United Kingdom

Be prepared to spend a couple of hours in this fascinating museum with its wealth of memorabilia and full sized boats of many types. There's artefacts, photos and things to interest all ages and it's a unique insight into a vanishing world. Afterwards, sample one of the many brilliant fish and chip shops along the sea front and you'll newly appreciate the bravery of the fishing crews that caught your meal.

Lovely harbour with plenty of shops and places to sit outside. The whole coast has quite a few closely located harbours all of which are lovely and make for a nice walk (from Crail to Elie)
