How to find us:

Getting there by road

Car park available on site in between The Cheesy Toasty Sack and The Scottish Oceans institute

Getting there by foot

From the centre (around Market Street or South Street), head east towards the harbour. • Follow South Street all the way until it narrows and becomes The Scores/East Scores. • Continue past the cathedral ruins and the harbour area. • A pedestrian path will take you directly down to East Sands Beach. It’s about a 10–15 minute walk from the town centre, mostly flat, with lovely views of the cathedral and the sea along the way.

Getting there by public transport

The site can be reached by bus and the closest bus station is The St Andrews Bus Station

We look forward to seeing you at one of our BioBlitz Battles soon!
