Arisaig

Azure blue waters, white sand beachs, dolphins skipping by...the Caribbean Sea right?.....think again, this is the West Coast of Scotland. Arisaig and its next door neighbour, the Silver Sands of Morar. They are situated at the end of the Road to the Isles, the A830 from Fort William, the drive in itself is a Scottish highlight, passing through magnificent scenery (including the Glen Finnan Memorial and the Train Viaduct made famous in Harry Potter).

Arisaig consists of a number of small white sand bays with laybys to park in.The winds usually come from the West and are therefore onshore so less worries about being blown to sea than most places. Still, it is essential to be well prepared and competent with a high tidal range here.

The views are as spectacular as the colour of the water beneath your feet, looking out towards the islands of Rum and Eigg. In the right conditions, a sunset paddle here could give you some of the most Instagrammable shots in the World!.
