As with many places along the Fife coast, the easiest way to visit the East Neuk is by car. Each village is easily accessible and in my experience offers plenty of car parking. The drive is very straightforward, especially if you’re near the M90, where you’ll then link to the A917. From there follow the incredibly well sign-posted Fife Coastal Road which connects the East Neuk villages.
