Coral Beach, Loch Dunvegan

Highlight • Beach

Coral beach is a nice place to check out the day here. water in the sea crystal clear and cold as ice. The beach is called sand but this white sand is really tiny stones. Parking a bit far away but this is probably not a problem.

After a relaxing read -
viewing the "Scottish weather" from an ideal and dry position -
and visiting Dunvegan Castle,
whose very stylish "farmhouse" we stayed for 4 nights -
there was a nice hike to Coral Beach ..
Unexpectedly we came to our first seal sightings after Scots had lent us their binoculars ...

Lately I forgot to stop the recording. So the return trip to Dunvegan is currently still part of the route.

They freshly repaired the road to Claigan, so the potholes are reduced to the minimum. Anyway, we highly recommend to walk from Dunvegan Castle (free parking) at least. It is a longer but really nice walk with nice views to the castle and beautiful views across Loch Dunvegan.
