Prestwick Beach is a long, mostly sandy beach with some pebbles, offering excellent views out over the Firth of Clyde across to the mountainous Isle of Arran. The beach is close to Glasgow Prestwick Airport, and it is possible to see planes landing and taking off from the beach.
There is a large car park on the outskirts of Prestwick along Links Road, near the train station. An indoor children's play area can be found next to the car park, which can be a great place for energetic, little ones to let off steam on a rainy day. There is also a café and public toilets. An esplanade runs alongside the beach, which can be accessed via a number of slipways.
The area is popular with golfers, and the northern end of the beach is backed by Prestwick Golf Club, whilst the Prestwick St Nicholas Golf Club is at the southern end. In the town centre, a short walk from the beach, there are many facilities such as shops, hotels, and restaurants. Prestwick Railway Station offers direct services to and from Glasgow.
The beach is easily accessible, with a number of car parks, including one at the southern end of the esplanade. The town of Prestwick offers a range of amenities, including shops, cafes, and restaurants.
Prestwick Beach is adjacent to the Ayrshire Coastal Path.
