Sailean nan Cuileag

As you drive from Salen to Resipole and Strontian on the A861 you pass by the small Forestry Commission car park for Sailean nan Cuileag (The Bay of Flies). Stop off here for a lovely short walk through Atlantic oak woodland down to the shores of Loch Sunart. Look out for the wooden mushrooms on the shoreline, studded with 'wishing coins'. Take time to explore the coastline and salt marsh at low tide looking out for otters feeding on the rocks.

There is an interpretation board in the car park with a map of the walk together with a short history of the bay. There is a lovely picnic bench just by the car park on a small knoll with views over Loch Sunart. The picnic bench also benefits from a BBQ hotplate stand, so don't forget your sausages...
