Largs is a traditional seaside resort situated on the Firth of Clyde, serving as the departure point for ferries to the Isle of Cumbrae. The town boasts several small sandy beaches, as well as cafes and restaurants near the harbour at the southern end of the beach.

The town has a number of beaches, including Main Beach, which is sandy in parts and backed by a promenade. There are also two promenades and several large, grassy areas, providing ample space for visitors to relax and enjoy the surroundings.
