Lovely beach in a lovely place. Great for an invigorating stroll even on a windy day. Popular with windsurfers and the likes.

Beautiful clean beach . Wee hidden gem . A wee walk from main road . Park at the Bothy Gorgeous for day out. Flat sands would appear very safe .

The weather was amazing allowing a beautiful view of the isle of Arran across the water. The beach is spotlessly clean, a must if you are visiting Bute and the cafe on sight is an added benefit.

We were lucky enough to visit Tarbert in mid-August when it was extremely hot, fantastic weather. We followed our noses and walked up past the car ferry point and continued up the road to the very end, where there is a bench and a small memorial for some ‘lost at sea’ sailors. My daughter and I felt the urge to scale the coastal rocks here and were rewarded by finding Shell Beach - we then worked our way back to the rest of our party via the hillside woodland path - it comes out 180 degrees behind the bench/memorial - it’s very hard to see if you don’t know it’s there. We spent 90mins on this beach as if it were our own private beach and suntrap - absolutely idyllic - don’t miss it, one of our holiday highlights!

Great drive out along a bumpy twisty single track road. The small car park at the end charges £1. There are often sheep on the road so drive slowly. The descent to the small beaches are overseen by the Monster Midge. A good out of the way beach spot . There are good views on a clear day over to the Small Isles.

This beach is circa 2.5km long with a car park at the start, just a short way outside of Campbeltown. We were blessed with mild weather and when the sun broke through it felt like walking along a Caribbean shore at times. We walked the whole way down and back, picking up 12 bags of plastic and non recyclable rubbish on the way (not that the beach was remotely dirty, we were just doing our bit whilst there) There were some dog walkers, some families set up for the day and some surfers too - something for everyone and a must-visit if you are in the area
