The remains of the Kaim of Mathers is located on rock pinnacles on the northernmost part of the beach.
 Built by the Berkeley (or Barclay) family, it was used as a refuge by David de Berkeley from the vengeance of the king when, around 1420, he was part of a  group who murdered the local sheriff, John Melville of Glenbervie.

St Cyrus was on the Montrose to Inverbervie branch line of the North British Railway.
 Freight traffic was withdrawn from this line in 1966 as part of the Beeching cuts but the passenger service had ceased in 1951 ten years before Dr Beeching joined British Railways.
 Evidence for the line can still be seen in the viaduct over the North Esk river to the south of St Cyrus and the remains of some railway embankments and road bridges to the north.

A Home Chain Low radar station was once situated on the cliffs immediately to the south of the village.
 A blockhouse can still be seen at its location.
