About Ardentinny Car park
Ardentinny beach, by the mouth of the River Finart, is one of the few sandy beaches on Cowal's coastline. It is an ideal sheltered site for a family picnic. As this is a car park / picnic site, camping is not permitted.
There are a number of walks beginning from the Ardentinny Car park, such as Birchwood Walk and Clunie Walk. See the activities panel on this page for more options.
