Brodick Bay and Beach Info

Brodick Bay, located on the Isle of Arran in Scotland, is a picturesque coastal area known for its stunning natural beauty, sweeping views of the mountains, and inviting beach. This bay serves as the main arrival point for visitors coming to Arran via ferry from the mainland, making it one of the island’s most accessible and frequented locations. Here’s what makes Brodick Bay and its beach a must-visit destination:

You have two stretches of dog-friendly beaches. The local beach is a narrow strip of sand, often busy as it is by the village, and so is where the facilities are. If you head over the footbridge across the mouth of the Glenrosa Water, you reach a much more extensive northern stretch, which rarely gets crowded.

The beach and bay as a whole offer breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, including Goatfell, Arran’s highest peak.

Brodick Bay’s calm waters suit various water sports, including kayaking and paddleboarding.

The beach’s accessibility, stunning views, and nearby attractions make it a great starting point for exploring Arran. Brodick offers a range of amenities, including shops, cafes, restaurants, and accommodation options.

Other attractions around Brodick Bay:

Brodick Castle, Garden & Country Park: Just a short distance from the beach, this historic castle and its expansive grounds offer visitors a glimpse into Arran’s past, with beautifully maintained gardens, woodland trails, and an adventure playground for children.
Arran Coastal Way: Part of this popular walking route runs through Brodick Bay, offering hikers the chance to explore Arran’s stunning coastline.
