Fishing boats and yachts create a vibrant coastal atmosphere, while craft and souvenir shops—some also serving afternoon tea—provide plenty to explore. Overlooking the village, the ruins of Tarbert Castle offer stunning views across the bay, Loch Fyne, and the Cowal peninsula.

During the summer months, the famous PS Waverley, the world’s last seagoing paddle steamer, visits the pier. Nearby ferry services also provide easy access across the loch and to surrounding islands.
