Whiting Bay and Districts Improvements Association SCIO are launching a crowd funding campaign to save our jetty, which is in urgent need of repairs.
The jetty has been an iconic, important and well loved feature of Whiting Bay for more than 125 years.
Even as far back as 1807 there were already stones arranged to form a small harbour but by 1895 the jetty was in its present form having being built by statute labour. More information about the history of the jetty can be found on a sign at the Putting Green
The jetty continues to be very popular, attracting tourists and visitors alike to walk its length and enjoy the sea and view, to fish off, to swim off, sunbathe on, picnic on, disembark from small boats and generally enjoy. With the Clydes largest seagrass bed just off shore from the jetty and within the South Arran Marine Protected Area it is perfectly placed to enable people to engage with our fantastic marine environment. Storms have taken their toll but we hope to carry the repairs so that the jetty will be here for generations to come.
* Charities pay a small fee for our service. Find out how much it is and what we do for it.
