A pituresque coastline with sweeping golden sands and sparkling seas has been named as the UK’s “unlikely answer to the Italian Riviera”.
With small fishing villages and colourful houses, the Fife coast has been described as similar to Italy’s “Cinque Terre” by The Telegraph.
Stretching between the Firth of Tay and the Firth of Forth, Fife is home to both small fishing villages and bustling towns that are welcoming more and more tourists.
For those wanting a taste of the Mediterranean a little closer to home, the Fife coast has been picked as the perfect summer staycation destination due to its beaches and “thriving food scene”.
The publication admired the coastline’s “pastel-hued fishing harbours, rocky shores, fine beaches, ancient fortifications and excellent food”.
It also likened the area to Cinque Terre in Italy, famous for its breathtaking centuries-old seaside villages, the Daily Record reports.
The author of the article travelled along the Fife Coastal Path, a long-distance footpath that runs 187 kilometres and takes in some of Fife’s most charming villages and spectacular sights.
Among the destinations they visited were North Queensferry, Dalgety Bay, and Aberdour.
According to the publication, one of the many highlights is Burntisland, situated along the northern shore of the Firth of Forth, which has plenty of unique independent shops selling everything from whisky and ice cream to luxury clothes.
Elsewhere, the town of Dysart between Kirkcaldy and West Wemyss was called a “delightful surprise”, with the coastal destination’s picturesque harbour and bustling café named as particular standouts.
Other highlights included Elie, St Monans and Pittenweem, which the author noted all had “enormous, joyous, wild beaches, fascinating rocky foreshores and the odd golf course.”
