A view from the end of one of the beaches in Port Charlotte, looking along the rocky shore below the hotel (not visible on the right). Behind the rocks the pier with two anglers standing at the end trying to catch some fish. The coastline to Laggan Point on the other side of the loch with the hills on the Oa in the far distance

Spotted from the evening ferry arriving in Port Ellen: The tall ship Thalassa, a regular visitor to Islay, anchored in Kilnaughton Bay just as the sun is setting behind the hills of the Oa.
