Loch Sunart can sometimes be something of a disappointment, at least the upper part, maybe because it tends to be the place to retreat to when the weather is too inclement to go north round Ardnamurchan, or around the west side of Mull. There are not that many official anchorages, although more are appearing on Antares charts, while the road along the north shore may only be single track but somehow it is intrusive. And, of course, the wind tends to blow either up or down the loch, so one way or another you will be tacking unless you are very clever with the weather forecast. But, and it is a big but, the loch is incredibly beautiful, and sailing on flat water in a brisk breeze is a delight. There are wonderful deciduous woods on either side, not too spoilt by pine plantations — yet. I suspect there must be a number of rather lovely occasional anchorages along the much more remote south side. But I feel this is a great place for walking, mountain biking and camping, not so much for attractive or interesting anchorages.
