Shell Bay and Ruddons Point

Ruddons Point. At the Eastern end of Largo Bay lies Ruddons Point and beyond that Shell Bay, which is much smaller than Largo Bay, almost a cove.

Beautiful day last Sunday so we drove to Elie and parked at the Coastal Path car park just behind the caravan park at Shell Bay. Took the marked path through the woods, then skirted the trees past some spectacular sand dunes overlooking the salt marshes which surround the Cocklemill Burn and then on down the grassy slopes to Ruddons Point. Having explored the point walked across the sands of Shell Bay and then up the tarmacked road of the caravan park back to the car park. It makes a good round walk.

Across Shell Bay to Kincraig Point at the Eastern end of Shell Bay.
