Elie's harbour bay is a sandy beach and very popular in the summer months, Fife, Scotland.
Commentary.
Like Pittenweem, Anstruther and Crail,
Elie is another very popular village on the south coast of Fife.
It has a wide sandy beach and harbour, with a stone breakwater and moored boats.
It is on a larger scale than the other harbours and the beach
attracts many sun-seekers in good weather, particularly as it is south-facing.
Like the other villages along this coastline, it has a long-established fishing industry.
However, now, perhaps, tourism has become the biggest economic activity.
With so many photogenic fishing ports within a small area
and the world-famous St. Andrews, nearby, throngs of visitors enjoy its sites.
Urban Fife, Dundee and Edinburgh add massively to the number of day-trippers at weekends, Bank Holidays and during school holidays.
Indeed, at times, many places can become nearly grid-locked.
In months like March or October, avoiding the aforementioned, this area is a joy to behold.
