The only problem is that getting in the water is being advised against right now due to a burst sewage pipe from the local plant. I wish there were reviews at the top of the gmaps for such events so that people reserve themselves from visiting until the advisory has changed. · via Google [Robert Rice](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/115836526493778043556/reviews) ★★★★★ A place of happy childhood memories. Definitely great place to sit and soak up the sun and align your thoughts. · via Google [Edmond S. L. Ho](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/110184183912369004592/reviews) ★★★★★ Went there to enjoy the nice weather in the recent weeks. It was a Sunday afternoon in May and not that busy. The beach is quite clean and the sand is quite smooth. Some parking space nearby and good that the beach wasn't so busy so we drove there to spend an afternoon. · via Google [Janette G](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/104105039518693740390/reviews) ★★★★★ The ocean views are always great for mental clarity. However, if you're looking to take your children and pets for a summer day out then it's not the best choice as it's all rocky walks and can be slippy. With that said the walk along the ruins and the scenery are great 👍 · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x4889c518b486f917:0x1724930ebf43cca7!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ## At a glance **Address** Saltcoats [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=55.6364347%2C-4.7965163) **Category** Beaches & Coastline **Guest rating** 4.5 / 5 (84 reviews) **Suitable for** All Ages **Setting** Outdoor **Good for children** Yes **Toilets on site** Yes **Destination** Saltcoats [More attractions in Saltcoats](https://staycation.co.uk/saltcoats/attractions) ★ 4.5 (84 reviews) [Visit official website](https://www.thebeachguide.co.uk/south-scotland/strathclyde/saltcoats.htm?utm_source=staycation.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=attraction) ### Quick Facts **Destination** Saltcoats **Plus Code** 9C7QJ6P3+H9 [Directions ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/dir//''/data=!4m7!4m6!1m1!4e2!1m2!1m1!1s0x4889c518b486f917:0x1724930ebf43cca7!3e0?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [More photos on Google ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x4889c518b486f917:0x1724930ebf43cca7!10e5?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [Write a review ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x4889c518b486f917:0x1724930ebf43cca7!12e1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ### 🏨 Places to stay near Saltcoats Hotels, B&Bs and self-catering on Booking.com, with live prices.
