Nestled beneath dramatic sandstone cliffs, Kingsbarns Beach offers a more intimate seaside experience than its famous neighbor. The golden sand bay is accessed via a scenic coastal path that winds through the charming village of Kingsbarns, past the renowned golf course. Rock pools at low tide reveal a fascinating underwater world, making this an ideal spot for families with curious children. The beach's relatively sheltered position provides respite from harsh winds, while the surrounding cliffs offer spectacular vantage points for photography. Local cafes in the village serve excellent seafood, and the nearby Cambo Estate gardens provide a perfect complement to a day by the sea.
