You will go through Inverkip, Wemyss Bay and Skelmorlie and then into Largs. Continue straight through Largs passing through the Morrison’s roundabout until you come to the traffic lights at the top of the hill (Haylie Brae). Continue through - marina is on the right at the bottom of the hill. The journey takes about 1 hour. From Prestwick follow the coast road sign posted Greenock.

Largs is at the end of the track (turnaround back to Glasgow). Taxis are located immediately at the front of the station and are approx £4 per trip to the marina.
