The wind turbines on the hillside near the town are juxtaposed next to the quaint rolling fields.
South Beach - popular with daytrippers from Glasgow, situated close to amenities and pubs. On good days this beach is very busy and there are often several ice cream vans but bear in mind good days are few and far between.
Barony St Johns and St Peter's Church are splendid examples of both old and new styles of architecture, situated at South Beach.
Ardrossan Castle - The castle was once ransacked by William Wallace and his followers and remained an important outpost until Oliver Cromwell took control of it, had it dismantled and sent the stone to build a new castle in Ayr. It is now a ruin but the site towers above the town centre making the approach into Ardrossan Town station reminiscent of Edinburgh Waverley. Excellent views of the surrounding coast and Isle of Arran from the top of Castle Hill.
North Beach - wonderful stretches of sand north of the town, a superb alternative to South Beach especially at sunset where the Isle of Arran can make for an arresting scene while out on a stroll.
