Latest reviews on Glenuig's beaches

Rhu Point Beach
10 X Y

This beach is a hidden treasure. It takes about 40 minutes to walk from the beginning of the private road. Keep in mind that some parts can get muddy and waterlogged after rain, so I suggest wearing wellies or high boots. The surrounding area is absolutely beautiful, with snow-capped peaks visible in every direction.

Samalaman Bay

This beach is absolutely stunning, with its golden-sand bay and a picturesque island just off the coast. There is a small car park available as well. The water is incredibly clear and not too deep near the beach, making it perfect for swimming. We even took a canoe right from the beach and enjoyed a picnic on the beautiful Samalaman Island. If you're up for some exploration, there is plenty of rugged coastline to discover by boat towards the West, all the way to Smirisary. Loch Ailort is also within reach, only about 1.5 to 2 miles away, and it has its own islands guarding the entrance. Additionally, it's not uncommon to spot a deer wandering around the bay. If you're looking for a place to eat, the Glenuig Inn is conveniently located nearby, although it's recommended to make a reservation. Alternatively, the Lochailort Inn, which is back along the A861, often has available tables if the Glenuig Inn is fully booked. Both establishments offer excellent food. Taking a trip along the single track road to this secluded bay is definitely worth it.
