Kingsbarns

Two-mile sandy Fife beach, also known as Cambo Sands, backed by dunes, with beach and reef surf options. I'd say this is your best bet if you're local to St. Andrews and those spots aren't firing, as this is slightly more exposed compared to them. Main car parking is under 2 hours for free, or £2 for all-day parking, with public toilets right beside it.
