Sea Kayaking A Day Trip to The Isle of May. April 2024

A day Trip to The Isle of May from Anstruther in Fife April 2024
Day 3: Sea Kayaking trip from Anstruther toThe Isle of May and return
This trip was part of a 3 day, long weekend Sea Kayaking areas of the Scottish East Coast, see our daily trip venues below with videos to follow in due course as I'm waiting for footage from other group members.

The Isle of May lies in the outer reaches of the Firth of Forth just a little over 5 miles from Anstruther on the Fife coast and around 11 miles from North Berwick on the South side of the Forth.
The Island is a National Nature Reserve owned and managed by Nature Scotland, with Manager David Steel and his team of Wardens giving a warm welcome to all who visit.
The information centre next to the boat harbour is particularly interesting as it has lots of information boards and displays of all the visiting and resident wildlife you are likely to see.
The island is an important 1st stopping off point for many migratory birds on there way to their Summer habitats and also an important breeding site for many thousands of seabirds each year, as such lots of research is constantly ongoing throughout the year.

It's a fantastic sea kayaking trip due to its remote location so far out in the outer reaches of the Firth of Forth into the North Sea. Its shear exposure makes it open to weather extremes from every direction but particularly its East coast leaving it vulnerable to North Sea swells, but its only harbour is located on its South Eastern end!

A fabulous trip and whether it is by kayak or Trip Boat its well worth a visit
