Scottish SUP Guide - Number Fifteen - Poolewe

Matt Gambles • 14 April 2020

Poolewe

Poolewe is famous for it’s semi tropical climate and its historical gardens in which you can admire plants and palm trees not normally seen at this latitude. The village also makes a fantastic Paddleboarding destination as well. Situated in a sweeping semi circle on Loch Ewe, Poolewe offers a large amount of protection for the paddler while also encompassing stunning Highland views.

It should be noted that you should treat the around around the river mouth where Loch Maree joins Loch Ewe with some caution as there is a large amount of water moving in this area.

There are plenty of places to stay and eat, all adding to Poolewe being a most favourable location. A combination of paddling at Poolewe, Gairloch main beach and Badachro would be a fantastic introduction to North Coast 500 Paddleboarding, offering a mix of everything, Palm Trees, White Sands, Islands, Rock pools and mountain views.
