Stranraer Bay

About Stranraer Bay

The shore along Stranraer's seafront at the head of Loch Ryan is rocky with small coves, and an easy walk from the town. It isn't a big sea glass beach, but a collector reports pieces scattered all along the waterfront and lots of sea pottery.

Sea glass at Stranraer Bay

A few scattered pieces of white, green and amber glass along the whole waterfront, plus a lot of nice pottery pieces from old local dairies.

Visiting Stranraer Bay

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.
