A large, stunning bay on the Ardnamurchan peninsula consisting of four smaller sandy coves separated by rocky headlands. It is known for its white shell-sand, clear turquoise waters, and high climbing dunes. This remote coastal gem offers expansive white shell-sand beaches and exciting rock pools.
Beautiful coastal walk from Portuairk village to Sanna Bay, passing over gentle hills with panoramic views of Ardnamurchan Point and the Small Isles (Rum, Eigg, Muck, Canna). Route passes through species-rich machair grassland, ablaze with wildflowers in late spring. Excellent for wildlife watching: raptors, larks, cetaceans, and seabirds. Return by same route or extend to Sanna Point and Dun Ban cairns.
Popular local hill climb starting from the Sanna Bay car park, ascending the nearby hills for spectacular sunrise views over the bay and the Small Isles. Perfect for photography and an exhilarating morning wild swim afterward. Machair and dune scenery throughout.
