A00679B Tentsmuir Sands Fife

Tentsmuir Sands are located in the northeast corner of Fife on the east coast of Scotland. The location lies between St Andrews and the City of Dundee. The expanse of golden sands stretch more than 3 miles from the River Eden in the south to the Tay estuary in the north, top of the picture. The falling tide reveals many offshore sand banks and mudflats and with that starts a cycle which supports sea birds feeding in the mini channels of sea water. The area is also important in the study of natural interactions that shape the shoreline and sandbar. Seals also regularly use exposed sand banks to rest and bask in the sun. Tentsmuir beach can be accessed through Tentsmuir forest.
