Season: summer
Kilnaughton Bay’s beach sits across from Port Ellen in the south of Islay. This secluded bay is ideal for paddling and the access is straightforward. There are views across to the Mull of Kintyre and to Carraig Fhada Lighthouse. Water sports are popular here, including waterskiing and kayaking. Nearby Port Ellen has a relaxed feel and is very welcoming, with all the shops, eateries and facilities that a visitor might need, not to mention the distilleries.
