Saligo Bay

Season: summer

Nestled to the south of the rock formation known as the “Sleeping Giant”, Saligo Bay and its beach are two of the most naturally beautiful places on Islay.  The bay faces west, so this is an ideal place to enjoy a sunset.  The light is clear and photographers are drawn here.   Access is by foot and there is no car park.  You approach over the dunes and a spectacular beach is laid out in front of you.
