About Tayport Harbour

Tayport Harbor is a private working port on the River Tay, on the east coast of Scotland. The port is an important part of the Tayport and Fife communities and welcomes all kinds of attentive visitors, both land and sea. Tayport Harbor accommodates approximately 100 boats. The harbor is located on the south side of the Tay Estuary, opposite Broughty Castle and near Dundee. The Tay is heavily tidal and although it is well sustained, care must be taken as there are many shoals outside the channel. Its facilities are limited. A toilet and shower block is located on the site and visitors are given access codes for it. There is water and electricity available. Tayport's shops and facilities are available approximately 200 meters away. These include a good supermarket, pharmacy, hardware stores, post office, and ATM. A good provider can be found within 3 miles. The harbor is also the location for a great cafe (The Harbor Cafe) that serves lunch and snacks. The Bell Rock Tavern sells real beer and good pub food. Other taverns and take out places are within walking distance.
