Heads of Ayr Beach

Heads of Ayr is a small beach backed by a grassy area and ruled by upper cliffs. It is a peaceful and private destination. From the Greenan car park, you can go to, or past the castle (a 16th-century ruined tower house) through the beach, and the best way to get to the castle is to pass it along the shoreline, then take the track up from the south side. A view from a window of the castle reveals the 91 meters (300 feet) high Heads of Ayr cliffs, about 3.2 km (2 miles) further south.
