The island also boasts an 18 hole golf course at Millport Golf Club which is located in the heart of the island. The island is also populars for cycling, walking, birdwatching and other watersports including kayaking.

The Firth of Clyde is a popular destination for sailing due to its accessibility to Glasgow, and with Largs Yacht Haven providing many enthusiasts and yacht owners with a berth to keep their boats together with other associated services including Food & Drink, Boatyard & Marine Services, a well-stocked
