Visiting Dunure Beach

Getting there

From Ayr, take the A719 south towards Dunure. Continue on the A719 until you reach the village. Once there, follow the signs to the beach or castle, where you will find nearby parking options. The roads are narrow and winding, reflecting the rural charm of the area, so drive carefully.

Parking

Parking is available in the village near the harbor or the castle, with a short walk required to reach the beach itself. Spaces can be limited, so it's wise to arrive early during peak times or sunny days.

Toilets

Public toilets are available in the village near the harbor, a short walk from the beach.

Safety

Check the tide times before you go and head out on a falling tide, so you're never cut off. Keep away from the bottom of cliffs, wear sturdy shoes on rocks, and only take sea glass and other man-made rubbish: pebbles, sand and shells should stay on the beach.
