Season: autumn
Troon has two long sandy beaches, located either side of the headland and the harbour. On this occasion I visited South Beach, which sits in front of the championship links golf course, with parking and all that Troon has to offer nearby. The esplanade behind the beach makes for an enjoyable stroll and there are many eateries in the town itself. The bathing water is of a good standard and the beach is regularly cleaned during the summer months.
What the beach means to Duncan.
The calm after the storm.
