Ostel Bay, Cowal

A remote, dune-backed sandy bay on the Cowal Peninsula reached by track and a walk over the dunes, looking across to Arran. Quiet and a bit of an effort to reach, which is largely the appeal, but there's no shelter or facilities once you're there.

Fairly remote, dune-backed sandy bay reached by unsurfaced track — approximate coords + respectful/no-vehicle-on-dunes caveat rather than pinpoint precision.

Getting there & in
