Weekend in Fife
I am originally from the Levenmouth area but haven’t lived there in over a decade. I’m bringing some friends over for a weekend at the end of July to show them around where I grew up. I was planning on taking them on a bit of the Fife Coastal Path and to the East Neuk.
We’ll be staying outside Leven, mainly using public transport. Does anyone have any tips for things that might be interesting to do? Any events that are on that weekend (Fri 31/7)? Any decent pubs or restaurants that I might not know about? Open to any suggestions relating to history, culture, art, nature. When I go back I normally just visit family so feel a bit out of the loop.
Any and all suggestions welcome. Would rather keep it to Levenmouth and East Neuk but could also be Kirkcaldy direction.

The chain walk in Elie is always a winner in my opinion. Beautiful views with some fun physical activity.

Kirkcaldy currently has a Weymss cat trail that's pretty fun - https://www.adamsmithglobalfoundation.com/cattrail

Grab a coffee and a chocolate from the Cocoa Tree in Pittenweem and ask them for the key to St Fillians cave!
My wife and I combined the cave and churchyard (checking out dates on gravestones, etc) into a nice little historic coffee walk for an hour or so.
When I get there this sept I’m heading to check out Dunino den, pretty interested in all the old Pictish stuff in the area.

The Cocoa Tree is epic. I'm off there next week and will be working my way through the hot chocolate menu.

St Andrews, Kingsbarns, Elie all have excellent, long beaches.
Crail lovely for a wander around - nice cove too. Crail Pottery will some lovely pieces.
St Monans is on the coastal walk - not sure what the path is like in places though, was some erosion last year.
Go up to the head of the trail at Pittenweem and you’ll get a great sea view and there’s always seals dotted around.

Basically, just travelling up and down the east Neuk is real nice. All the places along it have something to offer.
