Walking in the surf at Kilchoman beach, Isle of Islay

Kilchoman beach in Machir Bay on the west coast of Islay is probably one of the best places on Islay for some beach walking. If you’re so inclined you can also quite safely take your shoes/boots and socks off and walk barefoot. Just like these two beach walkers, enjoying a refreshing beach walk under the backdrop of the crags between Kilchoman and Kilchiaran.
