This is easy to miss as you sail to and fro concentrating on the tidal times at the Dorus Mor. Although there is nothing that special to do ashore, and there is a lot of litter around the bay, there are grand views from the anchorage to Scarba and the Corryvreckan.  So you don't have to inflate the inflatable, just sit back and enjoy the view — gin and tonic in hand. However, if you want a pre-dinner stroll, there are a large number and variety of prehistoric cup marks on some rocks up the hill to inspect (marked on the OS map). And a surprisingly large roofless old boathouse (if that is what it is) sits on the southwest shore of the bay.
