ThingsToDoBeach play with an optional park
Make Lunderston Bay the main outdoor visit and treat the town park as an optional later stop.
A beach, play area and coastal pause / NEAR GOUROCK
Lunderston Bay
Follow the coast beyond central Gourock for a sandy bay with a play area, picnic space and room to watch the changing water. Beach time and a short coastal stroll work well together, but you can keep the visit entirely around the main facilities. The appeal is an unhurried outdoor break rather than a timetable of attractions.
