On this section of the Fife Coastal Path, you’ll pass Burntisland, an attractive, historical town with cafés, shops, accommodation, a sandy beach and museums. Our Beach of Dreams journey will take you to Kinghorn along the great expanse of Burntisland beach and Pettycur Bay (tide permitting). You will pass the monument to Alexander III, who fell to his death nearby in the 13th century.Up in Kinghorn you will have stunning views no matter what the weather. Often people see whales swimming in the Forth from this vantage point.
This Aberdour to Kinghorn guided walk is on undulating coastal path with steps and steep sections. Please dress appropriately.
This is the fourth day of our Beach of Dreams journey around the Fife coast.There are 7 more stages that you can join in by either walking or cycling and each event is free of charge. See Eventbrite and the FCCT website for details and how to book.
Beach of Dreams is a UK-wide coastal arts festival that explores the unique heritage, culture and climate future of our coastline. Fife Coast and Countryside Trust are delighted that Fife is the Scottish location for this creative programme.Presented by Kinetika, Beach of Dreams sees acclaimed and emerging artists commissioned UK-wide to create works to help local communities connect with the natural environment. In Fife, artist Julie Brook will create a tidal sculpture from locally sourced materials, inspired by walks along the Fife coastline and talks with residents and artists. She will also lead workshops with local schools and community groups in partnership with ArtMovesFife.
Please note that this is a one-way walk. The end time is approximate and depends on fitness levels and refreshments stops. It starts in Aberdour and finishes in Kinghorn, both of which have railway stations and local bus services for onward travel. Please bring your own refreshments as there is no guarantee that we will stop for lunch near shops and cafés.
