Situated to the West of the harbour area of Anstruther, Billowness Beach forms a quiet bay adjacent to the golf course.  This lovely, sandy beach, with interesting rock pools and overlooking the Firth of Forth, forms part of the Fife Coastal Path.

The beach forms part of the East Weymss to Anstruther coast 'Site of Special Scientific Interest' (SSSI), which has been designated because of the large populations of birds that use the area and the diverse grassland which is home to a large number of important plant and insect species.

Anstruther Billowness has won Fife's 2015 Seaside Award.
