West Sands beach is famous for being the beach used at the start of Chariots of Fire. It is over 2 miles long and is a beautiful place. Great for walking, running, exercising, sitting, etc :-)
Head up to the very top for a dune walk that goes along the top end of The Old Course

East Sands beach is much smaller than West Sands, but still lovely.
At the North end, you have St Andrews harbour and the pier, at the other you have the leisure centre/swimming pool and a path that becomes the Fife Coastal Path and is a great walk along cliffs and hidden beaches. In between you have a lovely beach which is safe for swimming and surfing.
