    Hiking

    Tentsmuir Sands is a beautiful beach in itself, but there is also history here. During World War 2, Polish soldiers built a system of defences, a part of a larger plan to defend Britain from enemy invasion. Here, you will find a WW2 observation tower as well as a target wagon. This would carry moving targets along a track and was used for target practice.
