Season: summer
The village of Plockton is one of the tourist magnets in the Highlands, both attractive and a sheltered haven for passing yachts. Known as “The Jewel of the Highlands”, the village has an up-market feel during the summer season. Fishing and crofting has long since been displaced by Plockton’s popularity as a yachting anchorage and a highlight of the season is the two week sailing regatta. Other popular water sports include kayaking and rowing. The beach here is known as Coral Beach and can be found a mile or so outside the village, an oasis of tranquility in the summer. It’s well worth the walk to find such a peaceful strand, with its surface made of dried, calcified seaweed, known as maerl. The nature here is pristine and the beach has a soothing atmosphere. Highly recommended.
