Aberdour is a scenic and historic village, looking south to the island of Inchcolm and its Abbey, over to Leith and Edinburgh. It was nominated for "Best Coastal Resort" in Scotland. The village nestles between the bigger coastal towns of Burntisland to the east and Dalgety Bay to the west.

The village's winding High Street lies a little inland from the coast. Narrow lanes run off it, providing access to the more hidden parts of the village and the shoreline itself. The Silver Sands beach is one of Scotland's seven "Blue flag" awarded beaches, which denotes an exemplary standard of cleanliness, facilities, safety, environmental education and management.

An important asset is St Fillan's Church which is one of the best-preserved medieval parish churches in Scotland dating back to the 12th century. Furthermore, a number of vernacular buildings of the 17th and early 19th centuries, like the castle, add to the historic scene.

Aberdour has a very popular yearly festival, which runs from late July to early August and features musical events, shows, sporting events and children's events.

There are restaurants and local shops at Aberdour and Crossgates with larger supermarkets, leisure centres and excellent facilities in Halbeath (M90) 3.2m, and in Dunfermline (5.5 miles), Perth (29 miles), and Edinburgh (20m).
