Monifieth is a small coastal town in Angus, Scotland, sitting on the North Sea a few miles east of Dundee at the mouth of the River Tay. It’s known for long sandy beaches and linksland, with clear views across the Firth of Tay towards Fife, and sits conveniently on routes east to Carnoustie and beyond, making it both a seaside destination and a commuter base for the city.
Historically a fishing and weaving settlement that expanded in the 19th century, Monifieth now blends local shops and light industry with tourism linked to its coastline and nearby championship golf courses. The town retains a strong community feel with promenades, a small harbour and active local organisations, so it feels more like a lively coastal village than a suburb.
