Craigie Pool is a small coastal tidal pool and stone seawall on the Ayr shore — great for moody waterscapes, reflective foregrounds, and capturing local fishing boats and distant Arran. Best at sunrise or golden hour for soft side-light and at low tide to reveal rock patterns and reflections. Easily reached on foot from Ayr town; limited roadside parking on Overmills Cres. No entry fee; surfaces can be slippery so wear boots. Winter storms add drama but check forecasts.
