At weekends, in summer, in addition to the normal food sale at the car park, there is also the "Salt & Pepper Largerita" pizza van, open until 9 p.m. The pizza is really amazingly good! You can sit at tables with benches, in the rustic wooden deck chairs, on new benches around the fire bowl or on the existing picnic blankets on the ground in the sand. Really nice atmosphere. Entry into the nature reserve and the car park costs £2 GBP. Toilets are in the green house behind the "wooden pyramid" at the front of the car park.

If you are looking for a place to enjoy nature and outdoor activities in Fife, you might want to visit the East Common Recreation Ground in Tentsmuir. This is a large park near the coast, north of St Andrews, that offers scenic views, walking and cycling trails, and a variety of wildlife. You can see seals, eider ducks, otters and even dolphins at the nearby Tentsmuir National Nature Reserve. You can also explore the historical sites, such as the World War II coastal defences and the 19th century ice house. The park is dog-friendly and has facilities such as toilets, picnic tables and a car park.

The Salmon Fishing March Stone, dating back to late 18th century, was one of many to mark boundaries between fisheries. On this stretch, you will also find, near the beach, a number of tank traps and pillboxes, part of enemy defences from World War 2.

The Ice House was built in 1852 and was used to store locally caught salmon. To provide insulation, layers of heather and straw were packed around the ice, creating a rather ingenious deep freeze.

A path leads here to Tentsmuir Sands from where you can walk on the sandy beach north or south, with lovely views of the Firth of Tay.
