Known for

The beach cricket (the famous Ship Inn cricket ground on the beach, played at low tide), the beautiful East Neuk harbour, the watersports, and a small Fife coastal village of extraordinary charm

A little history

Elie is one of the most beautiful villages in the East Neuk of Fife — a string of fishing harbours on the Firth of Forth. The Ship Inn's cricket pitch on the beach, only playable at low tide, is one of Scotland's most eccentric sporting venues. The village has been a fashionable summer resort since the Victorian era.

📍 Local tip

The Ship Inn beach cricket is genuinely eccentric and wonderful — check the tide times. The beach is excellent. The Chain Walk coastal scramble for the adventurous. The Ship Inn itself for food and atmosphere.
