Ardmore is located off the A814 between Cardross and Helensburgh. Take the road down to the shore, parking is situated beyond the level crossing. There is a circular footpath around Ardmore Point though the path on the west side can be difficult after heavy rain and very muddy.
There can be large numbers of Curlew and Oystercatcher roosting both the North & South bays at high tide with smaller numbers of Redshank. In the autumn there can be small numbers of Grey Plover, Knot, Black-tailed and Bar-tailed Godwit and Whimbrel. Whimbrel also occur in spring - especially May.
During October to May large numbers of Red-throated Divers and Great Crested Grebe can be seen. This is a good site to see wintering Slavonian Grebe with the Clyde now being of International Importance for the species.
In addition there are the usual Eider, Red-breasted Merganser, Shag, Black Guillemot, Shelduck etc.
