Argyll’s beaches

Scotland may not be the first place you think of for beautiful beaches but the West Coast is home to many spectacular stretches of white sandy beach that wouldn’t look out of place on a tropical island…

Here’s just a few of our favourites that are only a short distance from our caravan site.

Helensburgh Beach

Opposite Rosneath is the town of Helensburgh, which boasts its own sand and shingle beach. Here you can enjoy a paddle or relax in the summer sun. You’re also close to the many cafes, restaurants and bars in this busy little town!

Not too far from Portavadie is Ostel Bay, which is home to a beautiful crescent-shaped sweep of sand. Climb over the dunes and the beach stretches out ahead of you with Arran on the horizon. On a sunny day it’s a fabulous place to spend the day paddling, sun-bathing and swimming.

Glenan Bay

Glenan Bay is located just around the coast from the ferry terminal at Portavadie. The bay is wild, rocky and unspoiled and is a lovely spot for a picnic or a beach fire. There’s a fresh water burn at the far end.
