Parking . A parlé au préposé du parking qui a confirmé que personne ne vérifiait, mais PAS de caravanes. Toilettes disponibles aux heures restreintes, moyennant un supplément de 0,30 £. Superbes vues sur la mer
On trouve de l'eau a l'arrière des toilettes, dans un petit caisson à mi-hauteur.

Car park . Spoke to parking attendant who confirmed no one was checking but NO caravans. Toilets available at restricted times, at a charge of £0.30. Stunning sea views
There is water at the back of the toilets, in a small box halfway up.

Parkplatz . Ich sprach mit dem Parkwächter, der bestätigte, dass niemand nachschaute, aber KEINE Wohnwagen. Toiletten stehen zu eingeschränkten Zeiten gegen eine Gebühr von 0,30 £ zur Verfügung. Atemberaubender Meerblick
Wasser gibt es hinten an den Toiletten, in einer kleinen Box auf halber Höhe.

Parcheggio . Ho parlato con l'addetto al parcheggio che ha confermato che nessuno stava controllando ma NESSUNA roulotte. Servizi igienici disponibili ad orari ristretti, al costo di £0.30. Splendide viste sul mare

    Le paradis ! Très bel endroit, grand et facile d’accès avec des toilettes (payantes 30p) - super pour les chiens. Nous y avons dormi 1 nuit et passé la journée

    We stayed on a Sunday night and had read other comments about boy racers so were ready to move if they became a problem. However a few cars visited the carpark with loud exhausts but only stayed for a little while, displayed no antisocial behaviour and caused us no problems. We had a quiet night and woke to the sounds of the gulls. No payment required in winter.

  • 1/5

    would not stay here boy racer 4 all together driving around van flashing lights until 3 in morning

  • 5/5

    Fantastic Views and great location to walk into the town of St Andrews. Would definitely recommend and repeat. We stayed for Hogmanay.

  • 5/5

    Great view right next to the beach. Overnight stay. Quiet enough at night, daily activities do start around 8-9am.

  • 2/5

    We stopped here on a Tuesday night and unfortunately soon after 8pm a group of boy racers arrived at the car park. Beeping horns, revving engines and loud music continued until around 12.30am. We moved to the back of the car park quite quickly after they’d arrived but it was still loud. Others might have a quieter night and may be lucky, but best to share our experiences.

    Netter Parkplatz mit Blick auf den Strand direkt neben dem Golfplatz. Zwischen 9 und 17 Uhr ist es kostenpflichtig. Ab 20 Uhr wurde es ruhiger jedoch kam gegen 22:30 Uhr so ein Poser und hat immer wieder den Auspuff knallen lassen. Glücklicherweise war dann kurz nach 23 Uhr Ruhe. Die Nacht war ruhig, ab 8 Uhr wurde es langsam lebhafter aber alles im Rahmen. Ich hab von Donnerstag auf Freitag hier geschlafen, aber am Wochenende würde ich unter keinen Umständen über Nacht stehen!!

  • 3/5

    Parkplatz direkt am Meer, sehr schöne Lage, preiswert. Fußläufig zum sehenswerten St. Andrews. Leider abends und nachts Treffpunkt von Jugendlichen, die bis in die frühen Morgenstunden mit ihren Autos herumrasen. Vielleicht besser am Wochenende meiden und hoffen, dass sie unter der Woche bald ins Bett müssen.

  • 2/5

    Vue superbe, les toilettes ferment la nuit vers 20h. Par contre des jeunes avec musique à fond toutes les 30mn jusqu’à deux heures du mat. Privilégier un autre espace plus au calme en ville par beau temps.

  • 2/5

    En arrivant, on s'est dit chic, trop bien placé, la mer à côté. Le centre ville est accessible à pied en 5 min. Au lieu du bruit des vagues, on a eu notre lot de jeunes racers à 2m du camping car, en train de klaxonner, faire des drifts, musique à fond. Un cauchemar jusque minuit passé. On a décidé de quitter le parking et aller 1 mile plus loin. Tout ça malgré un gardien qui surveille le parking

  • 5/5

    Grand parking proche des golfs et du centre ville. Idéal pour visiter Saint Andrews. Il y a un robinet pour remplir en eau sur le côté du bâtiment des toilettes. Très pratique. Il faut par contre arriver tôt avec un grand camping-car si on veut une place.

  • 1/5

    Avoid, boy racers till 2am.

  • 5/5

    Walked here! Did not stay as we stayed at The Shore. There were 3 motorhomes staying overnight. There is a sign for “No Caravans overnight”. However, it is an extra sign away from the sign which sets up the rules of the parking… Next to Old golf course…

  • 5/5

    Great location, easy parking, stayed the night, no issues

  • 5/5

    we stayed here two nights beautiful veiws 5 minutes walk to town 30p for the toilets. £4 for 24 hours nobody bothered us you can hear boy/girl racers from about 10:30 but they don't give you any trouble its definitely worth it

  • 5/5

    “No Caravan Overnight” ist das einzige Verbotsschild hier. Wir standen tagsüber zunächst am West Sands Beach. Ein vorbeikommender Ranger informierte, dass dort nicht übernachtet werden darf, empfahl aber diesen Parkplatz. Mit uns war ein kleiner Camper auf dem ansonsten leeren Parkplatz. Es war Sonntag und regnerisch…vielleicht waren deshalb keine Jugendlichen vor Ort. Die Nacht war ruhig.

  • 5/5

    we stayed here for the night, with another 5 motorhomes/campervans, quiet after 11 PM, leave before 9 no problem

  • 4/5

    perfect location at the centre of St andrews ... busy carpark during the day but quiet at night and 4.80 for 24 hours parking. beautiful seaside views also.

  • 5/5

    Fantastic! Free 5pm - 9am £1.10 for 2 hours 9-5. Fantastic toilets, lovely views. Yes there was some youngsters with their cars but they left around 11. Will definitely use again

  • 1/5

    chiuso . utilizzato per evento golf. di giorno si può parcheggiare 500 metri più avanti sul prato

  • 1/5

    kids woke up screaming as boy racers treating the carpark like a race track at 1am really really loud and very intimidating going round and round the van screeching. Left the car park around St. Andrews trying to find a safe place with 2 kids.they knew exactly what they where doing they knew the where intimidating us little did they no we had 2 small kids in the van absolutely petrified.Avoid

  • 2/5

    Nice in the day great view , we stayed one night but was woke at 2.30am boy racers screeching around the car park went on for few hours.

  • 5/5

    Super spot, it doesn’t clearly say no MH. There is sign no caravans. Free to park from 1 October until 31 March. Super clean toilets at 0,30p

  • 1/5

    Anything over 5.5 m cannot fit into this car park legally.

  • 4/5

    Great views of the beach, 5 minute walk to town, good pub on corner near car park (Hams Hame). fine for our 6mtr Hymer and a bigger motorhome here while we were, just took up 2 spaces. 5 campers here altogether. quiet night apart from occasional boy/girl racers. No one bothered about us sleeping in our vans and signs in car park don't have any stated restriction re overnight camping.

  • 3/5

    As others have said it’s a popular meeting point for boy/girl racers. They didn’t bother us too much but there was a consistent flow of drunk students (I’m gonna assume they were) floating around between midnight and 4am. I didn’t feel too safe but we survived the night but will be sticking to the mountains in future. Wasn’t a terrible stop over point though. Toilets open 9am-5pm.

  • 4/5

    Nice spot close to the beach, we enjoyed a nice walk but do be careful as the stones on the way down are slippy! as mentioned in other reviews it was a bit noiser than our usual stops due to young people revving there fiat 500's but they didn't bother us. toilets close and bins also.

  • 1/5

    No use for parking during the day (have 7.45m long Motorhome), was even tight to get in and out of parking area! Use parking lay-by past Old Course Hotel - free parking even during the day. No signs stating “No Overnight” but did not stay overnight so cannot comment if any problems….

  • 5/5

    You can overnight in this car park from 5pm to 9am free Can become noisy with the boy & girl racers with their anti lag pops & bangs

  • 4/5

    Building work still ongoing so [erhaps not as scenic as it may usually be. Still, had a nice view from side window. Not trouble through the night. A few cars came and went but all quiet from 10pm.

  • 4/5

    Excellent view, only a few meters from the beach. Building work at the moment so no facilities open, but a short walk into St Andrews and the public toilets in Church Square are open during the day. Seafood restaurant on the cliffs looked pretty nice but we went for a BBQ on the beach instead, close enough to the van to leave the side door open!

  • 5/5

    Lovely quite spot with great views. Free until 3/8/20. Short walk into town.

  • 5/5

    Amazing place so close to main street yet right on the beach, great view of the water in the morning. some of the carpark is closed for road works, but temporary. Would use again

  • 4/5

    Très grand parking au bord de la mer. Calme la nuit où nous y étions. Toilettes fermées la nuit.

  • 3/5

    On y a passé la nuit sans problème.mais n'oubliez pas de prendre un ticket a partir de 9h00 ! ville très charmante !

  • 3/5

    Y avons passé 1 nuit en plein mois d'août avec 3 autres camping car. C'est la police qui nous a conseillé ce parking car il n'est pas possible de passer la nuit sur l'herbe entre le golf et la plage.

  • 3/5

    Belle vue, mais bruyant, beaucoup de passage de voitures.

  • 5/5

    Sitio tranquilo y al borde del mar si pagas 3.8libras puedes estar 24 horas

  • 5/5

    Schöner Parkplatz mit traumhafter Aussicht. Die Cathedral und das Castle sind gut zu Fuß zu erreichen. Unbedingt darauf achten, dass wenn man 2 Parkboxen belegt man auch 2 Tickets ziehen muss. Wir sind nur knapp einem Strafzettel entkommen, da der Parkwächter uns noch gesehen und freundlicherweise darauf hingewiesen hat. Vorsicht beim Essen: äußerst hungrige und agessive Möwen :-)

  • 4/5

    I don't know if you always find spot (for visiting the city) but large spot possible if you take 2 or 4 spots. 1.1 pounds for 2 hours, 2.2 for up to 4 hours.

  • 4/5

    Public car park. Busy until 5pm but only few cars / campers through night. Amazing views of beach and St Andrews. Great location. Very quiet overnight just the sound of the ocean.

  • 4/5

    Muy bien situado junto al Old Course y el mar, pero bastante expuesto a las condiciones meteorológicas. Bastante tranquilo, con baños (30 p), hay que pagar por aparcar entre abril y septiembre.

  • 3/5

    Soweit ganz ok, allerdings wird der Parkplatz doch von der Dorfjugend für Demonstrationen ihrer getunten PKW genutzt. Aber ansonsten klare Empfehlung, zumal Alternativen schwer zu finden sind.

  • 4/5

    Bel emplacement pratique pour visiter. un peu de bruit le soir car des jeunes se regroupent sur le parking et font vrombir le moteur. ...

  • 5/5

    Ideal para visitar la ciudad y las ruinas. La única pega es que si quieres quedarte después de las 9 a. M tienes que pagar ya que la multa es de 60£. por lo demás perfecto.

  • 5/5

    Passé une nuit sans problème... Sauf des mouettes qui nous ont réveillés. Payé le parking pour visiter la ville. Toilettes payantes. Superbe vue sur la plage et la ville

  • 5/5

    Si può dormire la notte. La scritta NO Caravans si riferisce alle roulotte. Al mattino bisogna andare via prima delle 9.00 oppure pagare 1£ per fermarsi fino alle 11.00
