What to expect

Peninver offers a sandy shore on Ardnacross Bay, looking across the water towards Arran. It is an east-coast alternative to the longer Atlantic beaches, with a village and holiday accommodation nearby rather than a large visitor complex on the sand.

Planning your visit

Use an appropriate public approach and respect the boundaries of nearby holiday properties. Their parking and facilities are not automatically available to beach visitors. Check the tide and weather, bring what you need and avoid assuming that a nearby campsite means public toilets or supervised swimming.
