Lower Largo is a charming coastal village in Fife, known for its long sandy beach, peaceful harbour, and maritime history as the birthplace of Alexander Selkirk, the inspiration for Robinson Crusoe. Visitors can enjoy the unique seaside sauna along the Temple at the start of the old railway line, perfect for a relaxing coastal experience. With sweeping sea views and a relaxed atmosphere, the village is ideal for enjoying the shoreline and surrounding scenery. At the centre of village life is The Crusoe, a harbour-side hotel and bar ideal for food, drinks and sunsets, while a short stroll inland brings you to The Railway Bar, a friendly local pub that adds to the village’s warm community feel. Golf enthusiasts are well catered for, with the classic Lundin Links Golf Course just a few minutes away, Leven Thistle nearby, and Dunbarnie Golf Course around a 10-minute drive from the village. Everything is within easy walking distance — the beach, harbour, and coastal paths — while St Andrews is about 20 minutes by car or 30–40 minutes by bus, and Anstruther is around 15 minutes by car or 25–30 minutes by bus.
