Fed-up locals have called for an Ayrshire beach to have a “safe zone” to protect themselves from boozed up yobs.
Ayrshire Live has been made aware that residents are avoiding their local sandy hot spots after being too intimidated by an army of youths who head for the coast for a party.
One Troon resident has called for a segregated area of the beach where families and children can enjoy the sun kissed sand without fear or alarm.
