Carrick Bay enjoys an amazing rural setting as well as providing a hideaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Carrick shore is a place of unspoilt natural beauty boasting a picturesque sandy beach. The star attraction of Owl Cote is situated upstairs, the large sitting room, with its glass gable and 10ft glass balcony giving year-round outstanding views over the sea.
With a beautiful unspoilt sandy beach at the end of the drive, idyllic summer days can be spent building sandcastles, playing beach games, rock pooling, kayaking and paddle boarding. There are numerous nearby attractions and activities for all ages including Cream o' Galloway where you can participate in ice cream and cheese making workshops, enjoy a Farm tour (seasonal) or a stroll around their nature trails and of course enjoy delicious ice cream afterwards. The Cocoa Bean Chocolate Factory offers both indoor and outdoor play areas and chocolate making workshops. Slightly further afield is Galloway Activity Centre which offers both land and water-based activities on the shores of Loch Ken.

Historical attractions are Cardoness Castle, a late 15th-century fortified tower house that was the ancient seat of the McCullochs, and the ruins of Anwoth Church with its atmospheric graveyard, complete with Covenanter graves.
