One of the three beautiful beaches in St Andrews with the infamous pier. If you visit during term time you might even see some red gowns or pier jumpers!
(n.b. if you decide to take the pier plunge, check the tides first.)

Dundee bus
If you get a return dayticket to Dundee, it is cheaper than two singles or a train ticket. If you're a student, bring your student card or your Young Scot and prices will be lower.
