Port na Fraing is just north of a slipway, and you can also anchor a bit further north still off Tràigh Bàn nam Manach — the white strand of the monks — a spectacular beach. Wonderful jagged rocks by the shore, smoothly polished granite pebbles as big as cricket balls, fabulous white sand, startling green machair, and a backdrop of the cliffs and mountains of Mull. No wonder the Scottish colourists came to paint here, as indeed artists still do. This is just the place for a hot and peaceful afternoon, not for getting the shopping because it takes half-an-hour to walk to the village. But, without heavy bags, not too far to visit the Abbey.
