Bring all your kites in all sizes. So if your here for the day pump up your whole quiver on arrival and be ready for anything and everything. Best direction is Southwesterly, which is the prevailing wind.

 How to get there
Transport:
- Car
Access:
- Short Walk
Follow the signs for Prestwick Airport down the M77/A77 and take the Troon turn off before you hit the airport. If you pass the end of the runway then you've missed the turn off. The car park is just beside the 1st tee of Royal Troon Golf Club.

Stay clear of the area south of the Marine Highland Hotel, as you will now be flying under the airport flight path. This will cause lots of trouble!

06-03-26 Tim: A fine spot except for the tree stump thing. Interesting to watch the jumbos on approach into Prestwick as your kiting about. Water quality vastly better these days also.
