Activities to Enjoy with Your Dog in Fife
Beach adventures with your furry friends
Fife boasts some of Scotland’s most beautiful and dog-friendly beaches. Elie Beach and Ruby Bay are particularly popular among dog owners, with dogs welcome from September onwards after peak season. The award-winning West Sands beach near St. Andrews and the famous Old Course offers almost 2 miles of uninterrupted sand backed by dunes, with free parking available along its entire length. During peak season (usually from May onwards), dogs are restricted from the first part of the beach, but there’s still plenty of space at the far end. Finish your walk at Dook of Scotland, where you can enjoy pastries, sandwiches, hot and cold drinks, and delicious dog ice cream for your furry friend.
Coastal Walks on the Fife Coastal Path
The Fife Coastal Path is a highlight for any visitor, stretching over 117 miles along the coast. This scenic trail offers breath-taking views of the North Sea and charming coastal villages. There are plenty of sections suitable for dogs, providing ample opportunities for your pet to explore and exercise. Whether you choose a short stroll or a longer hike, the path is perfect for enjoying the natural beauty of Fife together.
A Dog-Friendly Family day out at Craigtoun Country Park
Just 4 miles from the historic town of St Andrews, Craigtoun Country Park is the perfect spot for a dog-friendly family outing.
This 47-acre park offers plenty of walking routes where you and your dog can enjoy the scenic surroundings. The park provides fresh drinking water stations and free poo bags for your convenience. Your dog won’t miss out on any fun either—they’re welcome on the miniature train, tractor rides, and even the boats. Enjoy a picnic in the beautiful gardens or grab lunch and drinks at the coffee shop.
Exploring the Woodlands of Tentsmuir Forest
For a change of scenery, head to Tentsmuir Forest near Leuchars. This vast woodland area is perfect for an adventurous day out with your dog. The forest offers numerous trails that wind through dense trees and open spaces, providing a diverse environment for your pet to explore. Tentsmuir also features a wide beach and dunes where dogs are welcome. Enjoy both forest and coastal experiences in one trip.
