Be notified when a new unfamiliar destination is added.

Why

Ayr is actually a popular seaside resort but not by people who are not from the area. Its the perfect spot to get a bed and breakfast and do nothing. Or walk along the beach and talk to the locals. It’s quite the hidden secret on the western coast of Scotland. When you visit, you will see what I’m talking about. I really did not want to leave at all.

I love Ayr. It’s a place that has real bed and breakfasts. I stayed at the and totally loved it. My host was pretty amazing and so was the breakfast she prepared.

What To Do

I really walked the town and explored. There’s the Esplande area down by the beach and if you desire you can just walk along the coast until you’re tired, rest and then continue. If you’ve got kids, you can have them play in the Park along the Esplanade.

There’s also Culzean Castle which is accessible by a local bus.
