Why West Sands Beach matters
A long, wide sweep of golden sand backed by dunes and golf links, West Sands is where runners were filmed for the classic film Chariots of Fire. Take a bracing walk along the shore, watch kite flyers on windy days, and look back at the spires of St Andrews across the grass.
