Area of the Golf Museum car park, from which St Andrews Bay can be viewed. Good for seaduck, and there is a large flock of common scoter offshore during the winter, with some velvet scoters also present. A flock of scaup is often present during the winter too, and it is possible to see other species including red-throated divers and long-tailed ducks. Fulmars, which nest on the cliffs between here and the pier, can be seen at most times of the year.
