Crashing waves in south Saligo Bay (2), Isle of Islay

The waves in Saligo Bay, rolling in from the Atlantic, rarely stop pounding the shore and beach. They also all look different, even though they sometimes look similar. This picture was taken just minutes, maybe seconds from this picture of crashing waves in south Saligo Bay. Similar, but not the same.

A view north west from the highest dune at Saligo, looking along the northern end of the bay with the beach petering out into a rocky shoreline. Waves rolling in from the Atlantic, breaking as they reach the shore.

Out on the beach in Saligo Bay on a November 2025 afternoon. The rocks in the sand a forming what vaguely resembles a circle. While some clouds are moving in from the west the bright November sun is still glaring down on to the golden sand of the beach.
