Follow the A917 for about 5 miles into Elie. When you get into Elie, you go around a sharp (90degrees) left hand bend. Continue past the small set of trees on the right hand side in an island. Just after the island, is a road off to the right signposted for the harbour. Take the road to the harbour and follow it all the way down past the Ship Inn and Elie Watersports (on the right). Parking is available a the bottom of the road on the left hand side. During the summer months, it's a pound.
Notes:	Elie has a decent beach and normally attracts a number of sailors; mainly those based on the North of the Firth of Forth. At low tide, the majority of the beach is exposed, and the sailing conditions are probably at their best. At high tide, the rocks to the West of the harbour are just under water - in that fin-breaking manner. Also located at Elie is Elie Watersports. They provide hire and instruction for sailing and windsurfing, amongst other things. Their contact details are on their website.
