Ardeer Beach - Stevenston Ardeer Beach

Ardeer was once an island with a sea channel running along to exit in the vicinity of Auchenharvie Academy. By the late 17th century the island had become a peninsula due to extreme sand movements which may have also choked the sea channel that had made Ardeer an island. — Ardeer Beach - Stevenston Credit: Raibeart MacAoidh

Sea defences, Stevenston Point

The point is man-made and was constructed by the former Ardeer Ironworks just to the north. Iron ore was imported by the ironworks through Ardrossan Harbour. They seeked to reduce costs by building their own quay by dumping slag into the sea, but it became apparent that the quay would not be suitable for the large vessels required and the project was eventually abandoned.

The buildings at the back are part of a plastic sheeting production facility by Berry bpi. They are further away from the shore than they seem here, in a zoomed image.
