Grand parking derrière la dune de plage nous venons d'y passer une nuit seuls et dans un calme parfait, pas vu de panneau d'interdiction étrangement car par ici ce n'est pas simple en bord de mer.

Search for South Beach Park, Off, Marine Drive, Irvine.
Grassed car park leading to sand dunes, the beach and the dragon. Close to shops and amenities. Stayed overnight, very quiet and no issues.

Großer Parkplatz hinter der Stranddüne, wir haben dort gerade eine Nacht alleine und in absoluter Ruhe verbracht, seltsamerweise kein Verbotsschild gesehen, denn hier am Meer ist es nicht einfach.

    Cracking over nighter for free, big flat carpark, 3 other motorhomes at time we stayed, 1 mile walk to town centre, 2 minutes walk over sand dunes to massive beach, deffo come again, don't forget leave nowt behind

  • 5/5

    Very big carpark, we had it to ourselves at night, a few dog walkers during the day. I think you would always find a space. A few cars came in during the night but didn't cause us any trouble. Really close to sandy beach and the dragon. The Maritine Museam in the town was very interesting, I would recommend a vist.

  • 4/5

    Bien malgré l'absence de vue, le coin est tranquille et isolé du trafic. Poubelles à disposition sur ce grand parking (un peu défoncé) et sur la plage proche, derrière la dune.

  • 5/5

    Brill spot! near the beach and a mile from the town centre. easy to walk too. found a Weatherspoons. cheap beer. the beach goes on for miles. few cars pulled up I the night but no bother

  • 5/5

    Great overnight parking for free. Close to the beach. Quiet place only people in motor homes and walking dogs. No facilities .

  • 5/5

    Fantastic location over the dunes on to irvine beach. On the right as you drive in there is a large gravel car park to your left there is a smaller gravel car Park which is quieter during the day.

  • 4/5

    Beaucoup de monde le soir mais assez d'espace pour trouver un endroit au calme À côté de la plage

  • 5/5

    One of the best park ups I've found in the whole of the UK!

  • 4/5

    Beaucoup de places et quelques campeurs. Le terrain gravilloneux rend les passages des voitures sonores. Bonne nuit tout de même.

  • 4/5

    Kostenloser und großzügiger Platz. Kurzer Spaziergang durch die Dünen zum Meer. Alleine die vielen HundebesitzerInnen mit frei laufenden Hunden fanden wir ungünstig.

  • 5/5

    super endroit coincé entre les dunes accès à la plage magnifique pas de service gratuit

  • 4/5

    Great spot, lots of bins, supermarkets 10minute walk. Don’t use postcode. Just search “South Beach Park”

  • 3/5

    Location excellent - close to beach and a lovely park which we enjoyed running around and walking our dog. Toilets 1km away (but not open 24 hrs) and bins on site. A number of dog walkers/other vehicles come and go but we weren't disturbed. Supermarkets and (cheap) petrol stations nearby.

  • 5/5

    grand parking, juste à côté des dunes et de la plage. 4G ok. très calme la nuit. Plusieurs autres vans présents.

  • 4/5

    Amazing beach with sand dunes and plenty of space. Parking on huge gravel car park. Stayed on a Saturday night. Loads of campers. Police came by to check but left without warnings. Quiet night. Get busy during the day on warm days.

  • 5/5

    lovely spot. lots of dogwalkers but quiet duribg the night. there was only one other camper with us. lots of bins otherwise no ervices. the signal is not so good.

  • 4/5

    Plaats genoeg om te parkeren. Rustige nacht en bij de duinen en strand is niet te ver weg.

  • 5/5

    Rustige plek vlak aan het strand, heerlijk om met de hond te lopen. Er stond een lokaal iemand met de camper en die gaf aan dat hier staan mag, politie reed ook langs en vond het goed.

  • 5/5

    A great spot. We got here at 8pm and there were plenty of spaces and flat ground to park on. It was super quiet in the night and the next morning. Just a short walk over the dunes to the beach which is gorgeous and huge! It is also a 5 min drive to the shops (Morrisons, Asda, Tesco) if you need anything. Noticed comments about the cleanliness of the spot but there was no rubbish anywhere while we were here.

  • 5/5

    Beautiful Area. Great access to beach. Stunning Views of the West Coast from the Hills specifically from the nearby Stone Dragon Statue. Can be a busy car park as it’s a popular spot for the locals but definitely worth it and plenty of room for everyone.

  • 4/5

    Nice, flat spot to park for a night. Good, long beach to walk the dogs and good 4G reception :-)

  • 4/5

    Flat, bins, very quiet and close to the beach, great stop

  • 5/5

    Super Lage, top Aussicht und viel Platz!!

  • 4/5

    Guter Stellplatz hinter den Dünen zum Strand. Schöne Spaziermöglichkeiten. Allerdings kommen bis spät nachts und ab dem frühen Morgen die ganzen Hundebesitzer aus der Umgebung zum Gehen mit den Hunden, daher nicht ganz so ruhig.

  • 4/5

    beautiful beach , level parking ,lots of space. but keep it clean as there is a lot of rubbish being left behind. mostly campers using the bushes as a toilet etc . don't spoil it or you'll lose it.

  • 5/5

    Nous avons passé une très bonne nuit sur ce parking. Nous étions peu nombreux à dormir. Quelques voitures qui tournent sur le parking fin de journée, beaucoup de promeneurs avec leurs chiens. Abords du parking un peu sales… dommage. Plage très proche.

  • 3/5

    Der Platz ist zwar schön in den Dünen, aber der Platz wir leider von den Nutzern nicht sauber gehalten ob wohl viele Mülleimer hier rum stehen. Barfuß laufen ist auch keine gute Idee da zum Wasser sehr viele Glasscherben liegen. Wir wollten hier schlafen, fahren aber lieber weiter

  • 5/5

    What do you want for nothing? Decent phone coverage for data to connect tv. It’s a bit hit and miss with boy racers, I’ve seen very few in all the years I’ve been using it and if seen they leave you alone. I loved handbrake turns 40 odd years ago, live and let live. Travellers sometimes show up but again, they leave you alone unless you want to talk, then they’re very helpful. Only downside is it’s getting harder to find somewhere flat that’s not already been taken. I prefer it in the wee car park at the side, it’s not as busy.

  • 1/5

    Disastrous night. Youths coming and going all night, loud music/exhaust etc. Packed up and left at 01.30.

  • 5/5

    top notch loads of room - ne boder

  • 4/5

    nice big car park next to the beach on the other side of the sand dunes. no facilities but bins on the beach. bunnies everywhere and nice beach to walk the pooch. stayed the night before catching the ferry from ardrossan, great spot and could hear the waves crashing from our van would definitely stay again.

  • 4/5

    Great overnight stay. Large car park and very busy during the day with dog walkers and young families going down to the beach but by about 6pm they have all gone and peace is restored. we stayed here on the way up to the Isle of Skye and again on the way home. Beautiful clean beach Waste bins every couple of yards which make for a very clean beach. Only problem we had were the Magpies, they kept going into the bins (in the car park) and throwing the rubbish out. I picked it all up again a couple of times but no sooner than I had and they were back again

  • 4/5

    Great for a night or a few... .Campervan, motorhome. A few steps apart from the beach. No facilities, safe, the market in about 1 mile popular, busy over the day with a sunny weather, popular for dog keepers.

  • 4/5

    Not bad considering it’s free. Plenty of space and the beach is close by. Some travellers did show up but went over to the other car park and didn’t make too much noise thankfully. Friendly police also did a couple of rounds in the evening which was nice to see.

  • 5/5

    Großflächiger Stellplatz hinter den Dünen, traumhafter Strand, Mülleimer, viele Hundepaziergänger bis spät abends und früh morgens - kein Problem da sehr viel Platz. Sehr zu empfehlen! 2 weitere Camper. Unzählige Kaninchen zu beobachten.

  • 5/5

    Beaucoup de place, nous étions 3 à passer la nuit. Pas mal de monde en fin de journée pour promener les chiens mais pas dérangeant. Terrain bien plat et réception 4G correcte.

  • 5/5

    Great spot, gigantic car park, no height restrictions, no rules, no boy racers, no litter when I stayed here. Peaceful nights sleep, and a lovely day on the beach. Good for walks along the dunes with a beach that goes on as far as the eye can see.

  • 4/5

    had a lovely night here on Friday busy with dog walkers and families during the day but just us and another family who where camping on the beach. very peaceful nights sleep only drawback is the walk from carpark to beach is a little steep if anyone has mobility issues

  • 2/5

    Great location, great beach, great views. Unfortunately has been ruined by a rowdy traveller settlement who blare music until after midnight. Cars coming and going all night. Maybe only use here if you have a soundproofed van..

  • 1/5

    Pretty disgusting place, looks to be a small settlement of travellers in one corner, dogs and Generators don’t make for a peaceful stay we left after a few minutes.

  • 2/5

    This is a good stopover with plenty of space but do not expect a place of beauty, the amount of rubbish here is unbelievable! Plenty of bins around but the beach, dunes, trails and car park itself are littered beyond what I consider humane. Disgusting! On top of the area being slightly industrial this place is not what I expected.

  • 4/5

    Car park near beach. We arrived quite late after the ferry from Arran. There were cars coming and going until midnight. No issues though. Nice grassy area for tents.

  • 4/5

    Very quite place too stop over, good for dog walkers just 2 mins walk to the lovely beach

  • 4/5

    What an amazing place to stay. There are bins in place, but nothing else. It is a car park after all. Take your pick of walks. Beach or grassland, which runs along the back of dunes. We had 2 nights here, and very peaceful nights they were too. Highly recommended.

  • 4/5

    Post code is not correct

  • 4/5

    Easy to find. Very quiet after 9pm when I stayed. Sainsburys 2 mins away for fuel and shopping. Access via dune to large beach. It was busy during the day with families. Good stop over. Large car park just one other person over nighting.

  • 4/5

    Un peu de va-et-vient sur le parking. Accès facile à la plage. Parfait pour une nuit et finir le tour de l'Ecosse en road trip !

  • 4/5

    Eine ruhige Nacht und einen wundervollen Spaziergang am Strand und in den Dünen habt!

  • 3/5

    Busy car park through the night cars in and out till late and got woke up at 2am by some lads doing handbrake turns

  • 1/5

    Am Wochenende gehört der Platz der Dorfjugend. Dann ist Party. wir sind gefahren.

  • 5/5

    Good place, other campers as well, we felt very safe and the beach is wonderful

  • 4/5

    Eviter la localisation gps ( conduit en ZI!) et chercher tout le long de ce côté: beaucoup de place, terrain plat et goudronné. Personne ne nous a virés ( malgré panneau «  no overnight...)

  • 2/5

    Bon endroit, calme, sans service mais avec poubelles. Beaucoup de promeneurs de chiens mais cela ne dérange pas.

  • 5/5

    Great spot. No view gut fantastic beach behind the dunes.

  • 5/5

    Big parking lot, flat (but small lot on the right has horrible pavement with lots of potholes). Quiet at night, no signs or restrictions. Dog walkers come out in the morning. Nice walk on the dunes and along the beach, dragon sculpture overlooking the sea :) Will definitely stay here again!

  • 2/5

    I cannot recommend this spot for the night, there were some strange things going on with cars meeting and leaving in the dark. then about ten cars packed with people started some kind of party with an aggressive vibe right next to my van. so i left. before, i had a great sunset and walk on the beach

  • 4/5

    Calme, immense parking derrière la dune

  • 5/5

    Lieu très sympa. Des progrès ont été fait depuis 2016 sur la propreté car rien à dire. Nuit très calme. Le matin les chiens et leurs maîtres arrivent à partir de 9h.

  • 3/5

    Très bel endroit pour passer une nuit. La plage est juste de l'autre côté des dunes. Il y a également de grands champs d'herbe tondus ou les chiens sont les bienvenus. Cependant, les locaux connaissent bien les lieux et y promènent leurs chiens ce qui peut créer beaucoup de passage. Parfait pour une nuit.

  • 4/5

    Très grand parking.calme, parfait pour une étape. Plusieurs passages de voitures de police, ce qui réconforte, gratuit, sans service. Je recommande

  • 5/5

    Perfekt geschützter Parkplatz direkt an der Düne

  • 3/5

    Au calme. Grand espace. En revanche de nombreux déchets. Nous en avons ramassé une poubelle... Dommage et incompréhensible.

  • 3/5

    Très calme malgré le samedi soir. A l'abri du vent, grand parc à côté pour la promenade du soir au coucher de soleil
