Description
From the road a track on the left leads down to Laig bay - a beautiful sandy bay with the spectacular backdrop of Rum in the distance and the cliffs of Cleadale behind. It is then possible to cross the burn outflow and walk north across the sands to return to the main road via the Chapel lane at the north end of the bay or to follow the rocky shore (low tide only) or the cliff top north to Singing Sands Bay further up the coast. It is also possible to reach Singing Sands Bay by road from the foot of the Bealach Clithe on through the croft land then left at a fork. A short walk to the cliff tops and path lead down to the Singing Sands.
