Irvine Beach Park
North Ayrshire

This is an overhead of the centre of the site.

The sailing ship can easily be seen and the blue section is the beginning of the giant horsehead.

From a little further back (from the south) with Arran on the horizon and the Big Idea to the right with the signal tower in the centre.

Closer in from the south.

Further back.

FInally from the east. We assume that's the skatepark in the foreground.

A panorama from the harbour point all the way inland to the sub-aqua club.

The full image is over 15,000 pixels wide and superbly detailed. Far too large to show on a website.

A wider view showing the view from the Dragon up to the riverside.

The Big Idea on the far side of the River Irvine, now closed.

There have been all sorts of suggestions for this place including a new bridge to take traffic over to a proposed golf course and hotel complex.

This is a popular spot for all sorts of water-based activities and is known as a very safe place to bathe.

Rumours of tiger sharks in the Firth of Clyde are particularly exaggerated.
