Once we had cleared the Heads of Ayr, we turned our bows east...
...towards Bracken Bay, which nestles below the cliffs.
At certain states of the tide there is soft sand to land on but even so the beach is well studded with rocks.
We soon unpacked our first luncheon and made our way to the top of thje beach where an old tree trunk makes a perfect place to sit...
...and admire the view over the Firth of Clyde to Holy Island and Arran.
