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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"fade-in\" data-delay=\"0.4s\">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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"fade-in\" data-delay=\"0.5s\">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!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/article>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<svg class=\"animation-path animation-path--static animation-path--top-right\" width=\"622\" height=\"378\" viewBox=\"0 0 622 378\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n\t\t\t<path opacity=\"0.32\" d=\"M20 -71.48C58.0029 13.2309 119.555 89.3341 201.277 133.411C282.968 177.52 385.673 186.355 469.214 145.819C596.476 84.0722 671.734 -75.7025 644.418 -214.494C629.769 -288.941 529.532 -382.13 443.132 -259.481C375.116 -162.914 421.759 -22.0437 473.534 84.1372C525.309 190.286 607.551 278.699 695.965 357.044\" stroke=\"#D0DCF1\" stroke-width=\"40\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" stroke-linecap=\"round\"\/>\n\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<svg class=\"animation-path animation-path--static animation-path--bottom-left\" width=\"812\" height=\"359\" viewBox=\"0 0 812 359\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n\t\t\t<path opacity=\"0.32\" d=\"M-221 75.1374C-183.667 37.3041 112.5 -35.363 172.5 92.1381C216.588 185.826 22.5896 277.27 9.5 386.992C-10.5 554.639 144 551.139 212 506.492C326.006 431.639 260.5 222.962 474.5 215.639C626.149 210.449 633 355.638 807.5 386.992\" stroke=\"#D0DCF1\" stroke-width=\"40\"\/>\n\t\t<\/svg>\n\t<\/section>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This charming rural beach lies on the Ayrshire coast between Maidens and Dunure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4119,"template":"","category-region":[36,44],"category-attraction":[50],"class_list":["post-1876","attraction","type-attraction","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-region-uk","category-region-scotland","category-attraction-beach"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
