Beaches
Kinghorn has two beautiful sandy beaches ideal for young children and athletes alike.
Kinghorn beach is an attractive sheltered bay with plenty of sand and a great place for families. The boathouse of the Kinghorn Lifeboat is situated here and is called out to boats at risk in the open waters of the Firth of Forth. The beach looks out onto Inchkeith
Pettycur beach is a wide-
expanse of sands that stretch from Kinghorn all the way to Burntisland
over a mile away. Many activities
take place here, sunbathing,
picnicking, horse riding, wind-
Island and across the firth to Arthurs Seat and the castle in Edinburgh and the Pentland Hills.
Kinghorn Loch
The loch lies just inland from Kinghorn itself. This is a place where you can enjoy many leisure activities.
The loch has canoeing, sailing and fishing. There are walks to enjoy, woods to explore and a bird hide to watch the variety of species in and around the loch. In summer there is wildlife and wild flowers in abundance and in winter rolling hills and fields to roam.
The Ecology Centre is renowned throughout Scotland and is located on the hillside overlooking the loch. This has many interesting features, attractions and events, including ideas for recycling materials.
Earthship Fife is the first sustainable visitor centre in Scotland and is at the lochside.
The Visit Scotland tourist office in Kirkcaldy carries all the necessary visitor
information and services, and local shops and venues have the “Kinghorn Tourist Brochure”.
