A picturesque seaside resort, Elie is gathered around a curve of golden sand. The harbour, established in the 16th century, is a popular with yachts and small pleasure craft while the surrounding bay is popular with windsurfers and bathers.
The town is also home to two fantastic golf courses. James Braid, celebrated golf course designer and five times winner of the British Open Golf Championship in the early 20th century was born in Elie.
Elie has many interesting historic buildings, some of which date back to the 17th century, including The Lady's Tower, a summer house built for Lady Janet Anstruther.
