Machrihanish and Southend
The spurs on the K66 incorporate some of the most stunning scenery and beaches on the peninsula, not to mention the world class championship golf courses.
Wild and remote, the legendary Mull of Kintyre Lighthouse will test even the fittest walker, but the views are reward enough!
St Columba's Footstep at Southend is a historic link to the past and a poignant place for reflection.
Dunavarty beach is a wonderful spot for surfing and swimming. The beach is overlooked by Dunaverty Golf Course, which is a fantastic 9 hole-er that rivals the championship courses near by at Machrihanish Dunes and Machrihanish Golf Course.
