This is a popular anchorage, not surprisingly as it is so close to Ardfern, but you can get it all to yourself in the spring or autumn. There is nothing much special to do but you can scramble around on the rocks, both on the east side of the island where the anchorage is and rather better just over the rise on the west side with great views up and down Loch Craignish. The undergrowth is rather impenetrable in the summer
