Part of the Lochaber snorkel trail!
A secluded, sheltered bay perfect for those searching for a serene snorkel.
Beginner snorkellers can take to the water straight off the beach, whilst the rocky headland to the south east is suitable for those with more
experience. The beach itself hosts a number of species from a variety of crab species to colourful anemones.
By road
From Corran, take the A861 south, and after passing Sunart, drive 1 mile further, turning right towards Gill Wilson Studios art gallery where you’ll find a car park.
To reach the coastline, walk back to where the turnoff meets the A861, then turn left back along the A861 towards Sunart. A few short minutes of walking will reveal a path on your right, signposted ‘studio/gallery 50m’ – this path will lead you straight to the bay.
