#glasgowtrips Don’t waste a sunny day in Glasgow — head to Troon instead! This seaside town is hands-down the prettiest coastal spot I’ve visited near Glasgow. Think golden beaches, pastel sunsets, and peaceful walks by the sea. On a clear day, it’s simply magical. How to Get There • Train: Take a direct train from Glasgow Central Station to Troon Station (around 40 minutes). • With a railcard, roundtrip tickets are just £7+ — super affordable! • From the station, it’s an easy 8-minute walk to the beach. Just set your map to “South Beach Kiosk”. Why You’ll Love It 1. Dog Lovers’ Paradise Sunny weekends = beach full of happy dogs! Troon is a hotspot for dog walking, and you’ll meet all kinds of friendly pups. Tip: Visit “Give a Dog a Bone”, a cozy dog-friendly café in town (closes at 3PM). 2. Beach Vibes & Stunning Sunsets Lay out on the soft sand, breathe in the sea air, and stay for the cotton candy skies during sunset — the pink and purple glow is unreal. Don’t forget your camera! 3. Scenic Marina Walk Head towards Scotts Bar and Restaurant, a lovely yacht marina with panoramic ocean views — perfect for photos, a peaceful stroll, or a romantic dinner with a view. Troon is that kind of place that makes you forget you’re just 40 minutes from the city. Sea breeze, sunsets, and serenity — what more could you ask for?
