Scottish SUP Guide - Number Thirty - Elie and the East Neuk

Matt Gambles • May 02, 2020

Elie and the East Neuk

The East Neuk of Fife, on the Peninsula’s southern coast is a string of magnificent, quaint Fishing villages. They are all fantastic destinations in their own rights, each one with their own flavours. Several have secluded little Harbours which are still active, so expect to see small trawlers and photogenic Lobster Pots scattered around. In and around these small harbours you will find cliffs and some fairly secluded beaches to explore. 

Facing South as this coastline does, the wind tends to blow cross-shore so be aware of the wind direction (and your skill levels) as well as the tide, when choosing where, if or when to get in.

Elie at the Western end of the East Neuk is a lovely family seaside resort with a wide sandy bay, making it a slightly more sheltered location than the more exposed East Neuk coastline elsewhere. It is a fairly shallow bay and a lovely place to spend an afternoon Paddleboarding. Looking across the Sea and the Firth of Firth to the South of Elie, admire the views of East Lothian, Bass Rock and on a good day, the Northumberland coastline.
