A great place to enjoy a delicious local seafood lunch. Sadly only open in the summer months (opens in April) and you'll need to get the boat over to Ulva to enjoy the restaurant, but its well worth the effort.

Shopping

The Ardalanish weavers have a lovely shop selling their own rugs, bags, blankets etc. It is also great fun to go and see the old fashioned weaving machines. Just below the weavers is a lovely long beach which is a great place for a walk.

Parks & Nature

This is our favourite beach! As you come into Fionnophort, take the left turn past the Visitor Centre and keep going for a couple of miles. You may have to open a gate or two, but the tarmac eventually runs out by a farmhouse with a stone-walled paddock where you can park. Walk down the stony track to the beach, then keep going left, over smaller beaches and hills until you get to the best beach of all.
