Kilbride Bay, also known as Ostel Bay, Ostell Bay or Bàgh Osde, is a bay and beach in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It is situated in the far south-west of the Cowal Peninsular, where Loch Fyne meets the Firth of Clyde. The nearest settlements are Kames, 4 miles (6.4 km) to the north, and Portavadie, 5 miles (8.0 km) to the west. Ardlamont Point, the southern-most point in Cowal, is 2.5 miles (4.0 km) to the south-east.[1][2][3]
The beach at Kilbride Bay is sandy and faces due south towards the Isle of Arran. The nearest road access is at Kilbride Farm, 1 mile (1.6 km) to the north, where there is an (often full) layby and a path to the beach.[1][3][4]
