Cumbrae bus — Slip ↔ Millport town
A local bus meets every (or most) sailings at Cumbrae Slip and runs the 5 minutes into Millport town. Operated independently of CalMac — schedule varies by season and day of week.
Or walk — the seafront from the slip is a flat 25-minute stroll along the coast road. Or hire a bike at one of the two shops in town.
