There is free parking available, a playground for kids, a ramp that allows easy access to the beach for wheelchairs and strollers, a spacious green area for playing football, and the town is within walking distance. On a clear day, there is a fantastic view of Arran. It's hard to find anything to dislike about this beach.

I went to Ayr for the Air Show on August 9th, 2023, and the weather couldn't have been better. There were plenty of food stalls, although they were a bit pricey, which was unnecessary. It would be more affordable for families to bring their own picnic. Overall, the event was enjoyable, although the display was shorter than I had anticipated.

The International Air show at Ayr Beach was well-coordinated, especially considering the large number of people in such a small town. There were plenty of shops, coffee shops, and snack vans available. The Black Jack Typhoon and the red arrows were the highlights of the day for me, and we were fortunate to have good weather this year. The only downside was that a few cars were left in inconvenient places, hindering a smoother exit for many attendees who had parked near the center of the show. Fortunately, I was parked far away from this situation, but I witnessed the frustration of those who were affected.

This beach is definitely one of the best we've been to. The kids had a blast, and there are convenient local shops that you can easily reach on foot.

I have been visiting this beach since I was a young girl because my family used to come here for our holiday trips to Craig Tara. This place holds a lot of memories for me!
