For the first time the programme included a cycle race, with the sand providing a testing circuit for competitors.
It also included the 60m Scottish beach championship race and races for children.
Heavy events were among the highlights of the day, which continued until mid-afternoon as the tide came in.
Competitors came from as far south as Kendal, in Cumbria, and as far north as Inverness to take part in the unique event.
Bill Harvey, of organiser Kirkcaldy4All, said: “We had a great crowd, we reckon around 3,000 people came and stayed.
