I was slightly nervous waiting to take this picture, as of course the waves were unpredictable and I didn’t want to get me and more importantly my camera soaked with salt water. But I managed to stay dry and get this shot of a wave rolling up the beach in Saligo Bay and breaking over the rocks near the southern end, throwing spray high up in the air.

A beautiful June evening on the west coast of Islay, looking north from the southern end of Saligo Bay. A well known rock formation visible in the distance. The dunes stretching out on the right with the beautiful beach below. Waves rolling in from the Atlantic under the blue sky with a cloud bank moving in from the west.

Just a short distance down from the dunes view over Saligo Bay, the view from where probably most people enter and walk down to the beach. Towards the right a narrow track leads down to the beach.
