However, because of the "remote-working revolution," the villages of Elie, Anstruther, Pittenweem, St Monans and Crail have become popular places to live.
There is also said to be a "burgeoning" food and drink scene in this Scottish area.
Those coming here can sample the gourmet fare at the Kinneuchar Inn in nearby Kilconquhar or visit the Bowhouse food market in St Monans, which attracts top producers from across Scotland once a month.
The organisation similarly praised the cuisine and dining options on offer here.

"In addition, the lush fields overlooking the North Sea provide a bountiful harvest that’s stocked in local shops and farm shops – and features heavily on the menus of many East Neuk eating places."
Other spots across Scotland were featured in The Times' list, including Portobello in Edinburgh and Cullen in Moray.
