There is a railway station at Gourock with direct passenger link for the
twenty-minute ferry crossing to Dunoon.
Two car ferry services operate, one from Gourock Pier and one from the
southern outskirts of Gourock at McInroy’s Point.
There are frequent crossings and no advance booking is necessary, although
car with passenger tickets may be purchased from the Esplanade when making
a hotel reservation.
As Dunoon is on the mainland, car owners may prefer to take the High road
from Glasgow via loch Lomond and Rest and be Thankful.
