St Andrews West Sands

The south end of this two-mile-long sandy beach (St Andrews West Sands) is featured in the opening sequence for the Oscar-winning film, Chariots of Fire.

The north end overlooks an estuary nature reserve where birds can be found and seals cavorted just a few decades ago before they became scarce due to pollution from industry or excessive commercial fishing activity on their breeding grounds near Scandinavia.

The sun shines nearly all year round here which makes West Sands one surprisingly beautiful place.
