This large and wide-open bay has its scenic charms, at least in northerly weather. The west side is backed by trees giving better shelter than the usual anchorage on the north side. Apart from walking about on the very green grass and the extensive foreshore at low tide, there is nothing to do in particular. But wrong! About half-way towards Corran Point, you will find Ard Daraich gardens, although I may have got this wrong because their position appears to vary on different websites and I have not been there. They are said to be spectacular — you need to book to visit (ph 01855 841384). The walk up the glen towards Strontian is also pleasant.
At low tide there is a bit of sand for sandcastles, and certainly children can find a lot to amuse themselves with. There is loads of driftwood so on the right evening good for a barbeque. The beacon guarding the way to the Corran narrows is an odd kind of art deco concrete structure (I wonder who designed it, there is nothing quite like it elsewhere as far as I know).
