Best ice cream in town and it is a bit of a local secret. When Janettas is queued out of the door, you can often easily get into Luvians, and we personally think their ice cream is streets ahead.

Our favourite beach. About 25 minute drive, but well worth it. Great rock pools to explore at low tide and plenty of parking space. Also allows for access to the Fife Coastal Path. Toilet facilities available and sometimes served by the popular cheesy toast shack (serving the best cheese toasties).
