Beaches, small villages and some of the peninsula's most dramatic west-coast scenery.
MAKE A DAY OF IT
Choose a beach walk and a village stop, with a second beach only if you feel like it. Glenbarr, Bellochantuy and Westport give you different reasons to pause along the west coast; they are separate stops, not one walkable village.
Beach access and sea conditions vary. Check dog restrictions, food-serving times and parking on the individual listings; leave a weather alternative in your plan.
These are flexible ideas, not a timed route. Confirm current details in each listing and with the operator.

Plan my trip — choose a nearby base →West Kintyre is the side of the peninsula shaped by the Atlantic: long beaches, changing weather, open farmland and views towards the islands.
It rewards slowing down. Some of the best stops are small, easily missed and spread along the road between Tarbert and Campbeltown.
