About Elie

Elie is a charming Fife coastal village reached via the A917 from St Andrews (20km) or Edinburgh (80km via A90/M90). The village sits in a sheltered bay beside the rocky Elie Ness promontory, with over 30 EV charging points nearby for electric vehicle touring. Its most unusual feature is the lighthouse built directly on the beach, which becomes an island at high tide.
