Five out of the six beaches awarded the Blue Flag in Scotland are in the Fife region in eastern central Scotland.

Aberdour, Burntisland, Elie, Leven East and St Andrews West Sands have all been judged to offer bathing facilities of the highest order and receive a Blue Flag award.

One of the best ways to see all the beaches is to follow the Fife Coastal Path. You can spend 5 - 7 days walking along the 150 kms path or have a shorter walk on one of the sections.

    Have you been in Canary Island? There are some beautiful beaches. Specially in Fuerteventura, like Cofete or Jandía or in Gran Canaria, like Maspalomas.

    Diana, we were in Fuerteventura in November 2007 and the beaches there were fantastic. Although the weather in Scotland may not be as good as the Canaries some of the beaches are beautiful although rather chilly for swimming even on a warm day.
