Season: summer
Bright sunshine and a warm south westerly wind greeted me for this seasonal visit. Crowds of visitors were enjoying the beach and the scenic village backdrop. A high tide filled the small harbour, with boats bobbing at their moorings. This part of the East Neuk of Fife has history (Alexander Selkirk, who inspired Robinson Crusoe, is commemorated here), charm and a fine strand of powdery sand.

Season: winter
Lower Largo is a charming coastal village with a fine beach and a historical twist. The village was traditionally a base for herring fishermen, then net makers, but is now a successful holiday destination. There’s a friendly, characterful ambiance about Lower Largo, which is both welcoming and engaging to visitors.

The joy of watching folk walk their dogs, the kids kicking a football and having a game of sand cricket. The toddlers having such fun, you never hear a crying child. The fact that it changes every day and is never boring, that’s what the beach means to me.
