Dog-friendliness: Notice to dog owners about your dog being shot if among livestock. Mine are more dangerous to my safety on a leash so they walk off a leash.....they are well trained Border Collies right enough

Very challenging, rocky walk that after an hour we unfortunately couldn't finish with one old dog in tow. I wouldn't suggest this hike for dogs or small children. There's a very unfriendly sign that says the local farmer will shoot your dog if not on a lead. Never seen such an unwelcome sign in all of Scotland. There are some potentially dangerous edges to be aware of. The village and the views are a gorgeous sight though and I hope to get back to this hike another time. Very muddy indeed and not a very well marked trail.Dog-friendliness: Not a great idea for dogs

Came in by canoe as part of the Loch Shiel circuit. We had good weather and this was one of the best places ever!

Dog-friendliness: You have to cross a piece of land of a sheep owner that apparently had a bad experience. Best to just keep your dog on a leash for that bit of the walk, just to be sure (you'll understand when you spot the sign ??)

White sand. We were on the beach at low tide. The beach was full of jellyfish.

(Translated by Google) It really is a magnificent place with the sea at 180°. A white sand beach, with other small ones around. A corner of paradise. It's a place we deserve because the way to get there is not easy but when we decided that too bad, we will have wet feet, well, it goes faster. It takes 50 minutes to get there, plus a small waterfall to cross. The path itself offers magnificent panoramas.(Original)C'est vraiment un endroit magnifique avec la mer à 180°. Une plage de sable blanc, avec d'autres petites autour. Un coin de paradis. C'est un endroit qu'on mérite car le chemin pour y accéder n'est pas évident mais quand on a décidé que tant pis, on aura les pieds mouillés, eh bien cela avance plus vite. Il faut bien compter 50 min pour y parvenir avec en plus une petite cascade à traverser. Le chemin offre lui même des panoramas magnifiques.

Small white sandy beach. Difficult trek to get there but worth it.

We arrived at Smirisary Beach (White Sands Beach) after extending the walk to Smirisary Village. There's no getting away from the fact that it's a fairly rugged track beyond the village. Stony and definitely boggy in many places if there's been any sign of rain before you go. There's a small parking area at the end of the road heading out beyond Glenuig and past Samalaman Bay (another beautiful place to visit on a bright day). In spite of the isolated location, the parking area was almost full, so be aware there's limited room (enough for around eight vehicles).We spent some time exploring the abandoned village which, although there's no roads to it, has been tastefully rejuvenated with converted holiday homes dotted around the open valley. The walk beyond the village has plenty of astounding views out to sea with the Islands of Eigg, Muck and Rum as constant companions all the way to the sands. As you pass Port na Pollaig bay, there's a small gully cut by a stream to cross. It's not particularly difficult to get over but worth being aware of. Nice views from here too.Arriving at the beach there's a good chance you'll have the place to yourselves. Beautiful location with the beach being accessible at most states of tide but best around low tide. Well worth the trek but set out giving yourself plenty of time. The whole walk took us well over an hour and half with a few photo stops and careful trudging around boggy places. Definitely a walk to try if you're in the area.

Smirisary is an incredible spot. No road access and the most beautiful beach. An hours walk but very well worth the effort

Smirisary Beach is the smallest beach I have visited, but also the most interesting. A quiet place away from the crowds. The road to get there is worth the trip. Wear appropriate footwear for heavy roads because there are also complicated areas. Especially if the weather is rainy. I really liked this interesting and unusual corner of the place. Go, especially if you like unspoilt, secluded places, untouched nature. A place that truly reveals the biosphere of the Scottish coast. I also attach some pictures taken that day.

Beautiful unspoilt place . Bit of a hike to get there right enough.

Spectacular and secluded

Absolutely worth the trek out. Peaceful and beautiful. I can see that it might get popular here at certain times of the year ...
