"Lovely wee secluded beach with a big stretch of sand then an even bigger stretch covered in rocks & pebbles"
Paul Gilston
"Beautiful spot just off the road with access to the water. There is free parking for about 20 cars and free toilets. You can easily access the water via a ramp leading down to a beach area.
There are plenty of benches to sit on and admire the view. Great detour for a while if you are traveling along this coastal road."

The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Inverkip Bay Beach (Inverclyde) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Inverkip Bay Beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing.
