Ardalanish
Beach |
|
|
|
This is another of Mull's white sand gems.
Absolutely gorgeous and really, on a sunny day, you could be forgiven for
thinking you were in the Mediterranean. The beach is famous for the New Years Day shinty
match. The notice in the village shop reads "New Year's Day, Shinty on
Ardalanish Beach. Bring wellies and a stick or broom. 10am until the tide
comes in!

Calgary Bay |
|
|
| |
This is one of the Inner
Hebridean island’s
must-sees, with its sweeping
silver sands and craggy
headlands - home to a rich
variety of birdlife and the
haunting ruins of abandoned
villages. It is located on
the north west of Mull about
5 miles beyond Dervaig. A
broad area of machair lies
between the land and the
beach. There is car parking,
public toilets and also a
Wild Camping area.

Fidden |
|
|
| |
With its pink granite
outcrops and large white
sandy bay this beach is just
breathtaking and one of
Mull's best kept secrets!
Children are in their
element here playing on the
secluded beaches and rock
pools. There are the most
fantastic views and camping
is available at Fidden Farm.
The sunsets over Iona are a
sight to behold.

Langamull Beach |
|
|
| |
Park at the sign-posted
Forestry Commission Car Park
on the Dervaig to Calgary
Road. This is a fabulous
secluded beach, not quite as
accessible as Calgary as it
involves a 20 minute walk
but well worth humping that
picnic hamper down there.
Great place to try and spot
the very rare Slender Scotch
Burnet moth. The views out to Coll and
Rum are just breathtaking.

Kilvickeon |
|
|
| |
Garbh Eilean is a tidal island on the stunning beach at Kilvickeon,
connected by a sand bar - a geological feature called a tombolo. You would
be forgiven for thinking the
ferry had taken a wrong
turning and you'd landed in
the Caribbean instead of on
the Isle of Mull. There are
fabulous views out to Jura and Islay.

Kintra |
|
|
| |
This is one of Mull's little
gems located just off the
A849, the main road to
Fionnphort. It's a small
inlet with lots of
interesting rocky islands
and a row of 10 cottages,
some of them self-catering
holiday accommodation. In
front of the cottages is a
grassy area with sheep
roaming aimlessly and a
small beach.

Tobermory Beach |
|
|
| |
Tobermory has a small beach
right adjacent to the
Telford designed Fisherman's
Pier and in front of the
shops. There is small
expanse of sand which is
exposed at low tide. The
quality of the sand has been
improved in recent years and
is machine cleaned
periodically.

Traigh Gheal |
|
|
| |
On very calm days there is
nothing like a trip in a
boat around the back of the
island for a picnic at
Traigh Ghael, the wonderful
secluded and remote bay at
Tireragan on the south of
the Ross of Mull. But for
those without a boat it's a
good walk through the
Tireregan Nature Reserve to
get to the beach. For
detailed information on the
walk to Traigh Gheal

Uisken Beach |
|
|
| |
This is
one of the most popular
beaches on the Ross of Mull,
a shimmering expanse of
white shell sand with
stunning views out to
Colonsay and the Paps of Jura.
Uisken Beach games are held
every August with games and
art activities for all ages.
This is also a great place
for birdwatchers.
