The most easterly point of Fife is a rocky outcrop with dangerous rocks offshore. A series of light ships were used here as it proved impossible to build a lighthouse on the rocks out at sea. Eventually the land-based lighthouse was built in 1975.

There was also a coastguard station here until 2012.

The headland was an important strategic position as a look out in the world wars, a pill box remains from the defence built then.

Fife Ness makes a great destination on a coastal walk from Crail or Kingsbarns. The coastal paths are wild and the sea is impressive along here. Keep an eye out for sea birds. Whale, dolphin and seals have also been spotted swimming in the North Sea from this area.
