It’s quite small, but still very beautiful: The small sandy beach near Port na Gallochoille on Islay’s neighbour Gigha. Seen here on a June evening with sunny intervals. Kintyre in the background.

Gigha beach and a view of Cara Island

A view from the beach at Port na Carraigh at the southern end of Islay’s neighbour Gigha. I don’t know if the burn running across the beach has a name (nothing on the OS map). Lots of stones, rocks and even boulders around, as well as seaweed and more. In the distance you can also spot Cara Island.
