Season: summer
Reputedly the most attractive beach on the Isle of Mull, access involves a half mile walk from the free car park near Ardalanish Farm. The rocks here are considerably older than the Tertiary volcanic rock found most widely on the island. Ardalanish beach is broad, with silver sands and an isolated, elemental feel. With outstanding views, it’s a must-visit destination for any trip to the Isle of Mull. Highly recommended.

Ardalanish Beach has everything: solitude, miles of unbroken sand, rocky coves at each end providing shelter and places to explore. In summer it’s a picnicker’s delight, in winter storms it has unsurpassed grandeur. It is also full of outstanding examples of folded and distorted rocks to bring delight to any geologists heart.
Ardalanish is a fabulous wide open space that the dogs love at all times of the year.
