Clashfarland Point
Sheltered Cumbrae shore dive with reef, wall, and anchor.
Short walk-in from roadside parking; easy out-and-back route, best timed around tide, and popular for club training.
About Clashfarland Point
Clashfarland Point is a sheltered Cumbrae shore dive with a shallow bay that drops into a gentle sloping wall and scattered reef. A well-known anchor and a couple of small artefacts make it an easy out-and-back route for club days and training runs. Entry is straightforward from the roadside, but the tide can still move the water, so plan the dive around slack if you can.
