With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to explore all that Castle Sands, 35 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here should be St. Andrews Links, Old Course at St Andrews and Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews. Locals will also likely point you in the direction of Burntisland Beach, 19 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, let it be Aberdour Castle. (But we’re also huge fans of Burntisland Golf House Club and Inchcolm Abbey.)
