Auchenmalg is a small hamlet on Luce Bay in Wigtownshire.

This is a small place: the village has a village hall, a public house (the Cock Inn), and a caravan park called Luce Bay Holiday Park. The Cock Inn claims to be the second-oldest pub in Scotland.

The main industries in Auchenmalg are farming and tourism, there is an active dairy farm and the caravan park sits above the beach where a few brave people brave the cold water each year.

In recent years Auchenmalg has been expanded with the construction of a number of new homes on former agricultural land. Vodafone is the only mobile network which provides signal to the hamlet from a large mast on a neighboring hillside.
