Recommended: Great route, outstanding views throughout. Tarmac and packed-earth paths through woodland and a glen, a short grassy stretch behind houses, a more challenging section through dunes and a multi-use path beside the A78. Finishes on streets down to the harbour. There are lovely views across to Arran, Goat Fell and Ailsa Craig; you can choose to walk on the beach to get further from the traffic.

Coastal: three quarters along the coast.

1 end-of-walk reward: the Moka

Warnings: Follows a busy road for a sixth of the walk. The path through the dunes behind the holiday park is a little more challenging underfoot.
