Wild Swimming

With its stunning coastline, clear waters and beautiful beaches, St Andrews is a popular destination for wild swimming. Whether you're looking for a refreshing dip at the sweeping West Sands, a sheltered swim at East Sands or a more adventurous experience along the rocky coastline and tidal pools nearby, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy the sea. For those keen to explore further afield, nearby beaches including Kingsbarns, Crail and Elie offer excellent swimming spots with spectacular coastal scenery. As with all open-water swimming, conditions can vary, so swimmers should always check tides, weather and sea conditions before entering the water.
