About
A lovely little secluded beach where you may see seals & lots of rock pools to explore. Swim as far as you want, probably best at high tide as there are very big boulders hiding under the water to catch your knees & the water gets deep enough to swim more quickly. Great for kids & dogs but sheep nearby so dogs need to be kept under control
Location
Getting there
No public transport. About a 15-20 min walk from the road or from the Arran Coastal Walkway down to the beach but probably a little longer to walk back as its all up hill.
Accessibility
Scramble over rocks & slippery seaweed. No lifeguards & a long way from help so care & experience is needed. Unsuitable for wheelchairs
