This is a handy and quiet anchorage in southerly winds if you don’t fancy Bunessan which on the whole has not got a lot to offer. Great view too, to the north and northwest. Up on a small promontory on the east side of the bay, you will find very obvious signs of some sort of defensive structure — Dun na Muirgheidh. It is a fine viewpoint, not surprisingly as presumably the fort was put here hundreds of years ago to spot enemies coming over the water, whoever they might have been.
