It's managed by First Scot Rail, on the Ayrshire Coast Line and there are hourly services to Glasgow Central (taking about one hour).

Also known as Largs Esplanade, this is a great place to walk on a pleasant day!

There are beautiful views all the way along, whether you look across the lovely waters of the Firth of Clyde to the island of Cumbrae and beyond, or back towards the town with its imposing tall red sandstone churches, the famous 'Art Deco' Nardini Cafe and Restaurant, or the attractive black and white Cal-Mac ferries moored at the pier. There are many benches where you can sit on a nice day, with flower beds behind. In the summer months, you'll find lots of seaside entertainment for children, including candy-floss stalls, bouncy castles, merry-go-rounds and the like. The promenade was damaged in last winter's storms but, when I was there a few days ago, I noticed that most of the length has been repaired and it's almost restored to its former glory. It's within easy walking distance of the railway station and bus stops. There's also a large car park right beside The Promenade which costs £2 all day.

It worked out great, he recommended wonderful hotels and did the research, so all we had to do, was sit back and enjoy. He is so knowledgeable and humorous, we enjoyed our time with him, very much.
