Ardrossan Anchorage
✨ Hidden gem
Ardrossan Anchorage sits in the Firth of Clyde with a backdrop of the Ayrshire coast and views stretching out toward Arran and the Cumbraes — genuinely hard to beat on a clear day. You're dropping the hook off a working harbour town, so there's a real edge to the setting rather than a sleepy cove. Ardrossan itself is a short trip ashore, with the ferry terminal, shops, and the ruined Ardrossan Castle worth a look if you're stretching your legs.
