The West Sands is arguably the "better" beach of the two, if your criteria includes the long stretches of sand and rolling dunes desired by most tourist beach goers (notably, the West Sands is also home to many of St. Andrews' famous golf courses).
Personally, I prefer the smaller, quieter and somewhat melancholy East Sands, with its working harbor, fishing boats and nearby Medieval ruins. Interestingly, it was rather cloudy and slightly rainy when I visited the East Sands, while the sun shown out bright yesterday over my journey west. The two climates rather fitting, I think, the character of each of St. Andrews' famous beaches.
Side note: I will eventually get around to taking pictures of something other than the seaside (meaning the actual town), but given that the town is both home and school for me, the coast has much more of a draw when it comes to exploring and taking pictures. When I walk in the town I am usually on my way somewhere, when I walk to the sea I have no agenda except to just be.
