Crail harbour is one of the most famous and photographed harbours in the country and is one of the biggest attractions for tourists. There, you will find nice local shops to browse, find something nice to eat or simply stroll around the small harbour to enjoy the astonishing view the ocean always offers. You can also enjoy the ocean directly by spending a day at Roome Bay, located at the bottom of some low cliffs right at the east of Crail.
A picturesque town in the middle of the Fife Coastal RouteCrail is located in the middle of Fife Coastal Path, which goes from Kincardine to Newburgh. This means that it is very close to other small villages that you can also explore, such as the fishing villages of Elie and St Monans. It is also close to major cities such as St Andrews, the birthplace of golf and a site of great historical and architectural interest, and Edinburgh, the country's capital.
Travellers and activities

As well as the charming harbour, Crail boasts Roome Bay, a lovely quiet rock and sandy beach where you can relax and enjoy the sun and scenery. There is also a natural tidal pool where you can have a relaxing swim, as well as enjoy sports such as paddle surfing and kayaking.
Crail for history loversOne of Crail's most impressive attractions is its historical value. This is certainly a paradise for history and architecture lovers, as most of the buildings in the village date from the 12th century onwards, one of the most popular being the 12th century parish church. However, one of the best places to immerse yourself in history and culture is Crail Museum and Heritage Centre, which is run by volunteers and has a massive collection of artefacts and lots of information about the town's ancient buildings.
Crail is home to the seventh-oldest golfing society in the world, the Crail Golfing Society, which was formed in 1786.
