[[File:Isle of Cumbrae, Kames Bay looking towards Arran.jpg|alt=Isle of Cumbrae, Kames Bay looking towards Arran|thumb|upright=1.1|Kames Bay looking towards Arran]]The island is roughly {{convert|4|km|mi|frac=4}} long by {{convert|2|km|mi|frac=4}} wide, rising to a height of {{convert|127|m|ft}} above sea level at The Glaid Stone, which is a large, naturally occurring rock perched on the highest summit on the island.<ref name="OS" /> There is a triangulation pillar nearby, as well as an orientation point which indicates the locations of surrounding landmarks.

In clear conditions, views extend north over the upper Clyde estuary to [[Ben Lomond]] and the [[Arrochar Alps]]. To the west, the larger islands of [[Isle of Bute|Bute]] and [[Isle of Arran|Arran]] can be seen, while on the other side of [[Knapdale]] the [[Paps of Jura]] may be visible. Looking south, [[Ailsa Craig]] is visible, around {{convert|40|mi|km|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} distant beyond [[Little Cumbrae]]. Ailsa Craig roughly marks the halfway point to [[Northern Ireland]], which itself may be glimpsed if visibility is good. To the east, the views are not so extensive, being restricted by the higher ground of the Renfrew Hills only a few miles distant, however the town of [[Largs]] and village of [[Fairlie, North Ayrshire|Fairlie]] and the deep water coal terminal and power station at Hunterston can be seen.

[[Millport, Cumbrae|Millport]], the island's only town, is spread around a bay which makes up the entire south coast of the island.

The land on the island is primarily owned by the farmers, with the other major land owner being the Millport Golf Club.
