170. Ardtoe Beach

After the long but magnificent forest walk to Camas an Lighe and Cal na Cruise (and back), I am now heading north for the final beach walk of my trip to Ardnamurchan at Smirisary, but on the way I head around the other side of Kentra Bay to visit the small community beach at Ardtoe. On arrival, a group of portly middle aged men are preparing to head out to sea in kayaks from the white sandy beach, slightly spoiling the view! I get the impression they’ve not done this before. So I head first to the larger beach a bit further on past the marine research centre, where a family are dipping their toes in the sea. The kayakers are still faffing about when I return to the lovely smaller beach, so I leave them to it.
