Steamers from Glasgow used to dock at
Brodick and Whiting Bay, and the mainland
Ferries ran to Whiting Bay up to 1954.
After the Ferries stopped operating, and
the Steamers from Glasgow ended their
services, Whiting Bay became a very
quiet, scenic, residential town.
Today, Whiting Bay is popular for its
long peaceful beach, and walking routes
to the Glenashdale Falls, Giants Grave
and Iron Age Fort. The main trails for
the walks are from the Ashdale Bridge, on
the south side of the town.

The town also has a popular Golf Club with great views over
Whiting Bay, and across the sea to the
Scottish mainland. For other popular golf
courses around the Island, that together
make interesting golf holidays, view
Arran
Golf.
Whiting Bay has a few B&Bs or
Guest Houses, and a large number of Self
Catering properties. The town is a
popular base for exploring the Island,
especially for anyone looking for a quiet
peaceful holiday.
