Fife Coast and Countryside Trust manage many stunning beaches around the Kingdom of Fife. Our coast is known as the ‘Fringe of Gold’.

A total of 13 of Fife’s ‘Fringe of Gold’ beaches hold the prestigious Scotland’s Beach Awards. So, whether you are a Fife Coastal Path walker looking for a place to rest, or a family exploring rock pools, our beautiful beach sites have something for everyone.

We work tirelessly with local communities, volunteers and other organisations to maintain the quality of our beaches for the benefit of locals and visitors. We would urge visitors to respect the environment and to ensure that they leave no litter.
