The area is good for walking. The Kintyre Way runs right through the peninsula. For a day out, Skipness village is nice, it has a castle and a seafood stall. The ferry to Portavadie is about eleven miles away, which gets you over to the Cowal side.

If you want to go further, you can get ferries from Tarbert or Kennacraig to Islay and Jura. The ferry to Gigha is down near Tayinloan. Campbeltown is about a forty-minute drive south, and from there you can sometimes get whale watching tours in summer.
