Currie Sands is one of the smallest beaches on Islay, but still very popular. While on the west coast it is protected from the Atlantic. There are nice views to the Rhinns of Islay lighthouse from the beach.
A view from Four Winds (former Coastguard tower, now holiday cottage) on a beautiful June evening, not long before sunset. The view is south to Orsay with the impressive Rhinns of Islay lighthouse. Below you can mainly the roofs of Portnahaven. The southern end of Eilean Mhic Coinnich just visible on the right.
A different view of the Rhinns of Islay lighthouse on Orsay, here seen behind some rocks at the Currie Sands at Claddach. On the right you can also spot the foghorn.
