Croy Shore Beach (Ayrshire)
This charming rural beach lies on the Ayrshire coast between Maidens and Dunure. Found next to the small town of Maybole, Croy Beach is a mix of sand and rocky outcrops and is an excellent area for walking as the Ayrshire Coastal Path passes close by.
The mile-long beach is backed by grassy areas, with low-rise cliffs at one end, where behind you can see the rolling hills of Ayrshire. There are views from the beach out to Culzean Castle over the Firth of Clyde towards the Isle of Arran. This delightful beach is particularly popular on sunny days, especially for those looking to pursue surfing and yachting activities.
Toilets can be found here but there are no shops, so it might be a good idea to bring a picnic. Some visitors bring portable barbecues. Just watch out for those sneaky seagulls!
