Other comments: Park around the edges of the hardstanding (Helicopters very occasionally land here), Do not block access to the slipway. Note this is MOD land and camping overnight here is not allowed.
The beach is quite secluded but occasionally sought out by paddlers and families seeking a quiet relaxing day in outstandingly beautiful surroundings. The journey to get here from Inverness is quite breathtaking. A relaxing dive site with easy entry and exit. Although a shallow dive there is loads of marine life attached to the pier legs and many fish using this artificial reef.
Pub: Shore Croft Hotel.
Cafe: None close to here.
