Dramatic has got to be the best adjective to describe the west coast of Mull along with the nearby islands of Staffa, Iona, Ulva, Gometra, and the Treshnish. Volcanic would be another adjective that comes to mind, hence the strange, distorted but such recognisable shapes as Staffa and the Dutchman's cap.
As ever there is a range of anchorages from the completely safe such as Bunessan to the somewhat dodgy such as Lunga, to the definitely don't-stay-there-long at Staffa. Out here you are more exposed than in many other parts of the Inner Hebrides, but there are always snug anchorages to run to.
