You need a bit of luck to see this scene in Machir Bay as this interestingly shaped natural channel at times is filled up with sand, at other times is free like when I took this picture. When it’s free it’s nice to watch the water going in and out and splashing into the small pool at the end.
A view north west from the southern end of Machir Bay on the west coast of Islay. A large rock is embedded in the beach, smoothed by millions of years of the water and and sand sanding it down. In a way it looks like a miniature mountain with the summit on the right.
An overcast day on Islay, high tide in Machir Day. The waves are almost reaching the dunes at the top of the beach, washing up seaweed showing how high the water went.
