Things to do
Beach
The beach at Carradale Bay has a wide sweeping sandy beach stretching out towards Carradale Point.
Carradale harbour
Carradale harbour is at the bottom of a steep road winding east from the village centre. This is very much a working harbour. A plaque on the harbour wall pays tribute to the crew of the Carradale-based fishing vessel Antares, lost to the sea off Arran in 1990. Outside the tourist season, this is the mainstay of the village economy.
