Helensburgh exudes a beside-the-sea vibe thanks to its Clydeside position and to places like Dino’s. This family-run ice cream parlour and café has a long history in the town (formerly Dino’s Radio Café, where Sir Jackie Stewart met his wife), serving up treats to locals and visitors from its waterfront shop. There are classic and imaginative ice-cream flavours for choosing, light lunches, cakes and drinks, and a wall of traditional sweetie jars with many Scottish favourites, some made across the water in Inverclyde. There are tables inside and outside on the pavement (shaped like ice cream cones) with views across the Clyde.
