The extensive West Sands are the largest of St Andrews‘ beaches. Stretching two miles north from near the town centre to the estuary of the River Eden, the extensive beach was the filming location for the start of Chariots of Fire, and also backs onto the town’s famous links golf course – so attracts a wide variety of visitors. But it’s always possible to find a quiet spot here – just walk north along the sand until any crowds dissipate.
