CRICKET on the beach
The only pub in the Britain to have a cricket team with a pitch on the beach.
Whatever the Scottish weather throws at us, scores of spectators come back year on year to enjoy an afternoon’s cricket during the weekends throughout the summer.
Elie’s flat, sandy expanse of beach allows cricket to take place at low tide, with the area of play meticulously rolled to provide the perfect wicket.

The EAST NEUK
The ‘East Neuk’ or eastern corner of the ‘Kingdom of Fife’ is one of Scotland’s hidden gems.

Walk the Fife coastal path or just idle away the hours or Elie & Earlsferry beach, The East Neuk has something for everyone.
