Coastwatch Scotland Irvine is a voluntary coastal monitoring and safety organisation who strive to be the “eyes and ears along the coast” of Irvine Bay in Ayrshire. Our role is to keep visual watch and monitor marine VHF Channel 16 to ensure the safety of beach goers and seafarers in and around the Ayrshire coast. Day to day operations include beach and harbour patrols to ensure people are safe and there are no hazards. Volunteers provide first aid cover for the harbour area all year round to assist people in need until the emergency services arrive. We work closely with other emergency services to help the community and promote the messages of water safety.
We also look after the public toilets at the beach front situated within the Beach Pavilion, which we offer for public use free of charge.
