The housing here was still in the course of development, as compared with this 2009 view taken around 200 metres further north Link . A1 Service was a consortium of a number of local bus operators who ran a network of local services in the Ardrossan/Irvine area as well as a trunk service between Ardrossan and Kilmarnock.

Eroding bluff, Stevenston Beach

This slightly higher area of ground is being eroded by the sea. As a result, the beach here has many loose rocks in amongst the sand.

Signs above the beach

The large panel describes the sand dune system at Stevenston Beach. The sand dune system was declared a Local Nature Reserve by North Ayrshire Council in 1998. The other signs direct walkers and cyclists inland of the dunes beside the railway line on National Cycle Route 73.
