West Sands Beach, St Andrews

St Andrews is a town of many beaches, but West Sands is probably the most famous due to that Chariots of Fire running scene. 

It's always a winner to visit, whatever the time of year, day or weather.  Although if I had to pick a favourite time it would be golden hour - any time of the year.

Head to the beach about an hour and a half before sunset and walk up the beach, away from the town for as long as you want.  When you decide to turn back and walk to the town you will get to enjoy some amazing light and colours in the sky over the Old Course and the cathedral.
