Glenuig Community Shop

The Glenuig Community Shop is staffed by local volunteers and is generally open most afternoons.  The shops stocks a good range of provisions as well as some local gifts.  It also has a good selection of ice creams too which can be enjoyed watching the sheep from the bench outside the shop.  Watch out for divers and otters on The Sound of Arisaig too.  A great place to catch up with the locals and find out what is happening in the Village Hall and Inn.

Samalaman Beach

Samalaman Beach is located just past Glenuig on the small road to Smirisary.  A lovely sandy beach with fine views to The Small Isles.  Samalaman Island is accessible at very low tides, though care should be taken to avoid being stranded by the incoming tide. 

This is a great beach for the family being a great spot for swimming, boating and beach safaris and is very popular with locals on sunny days.

Smirisary

There are no roads to Smirisary, so you will have to park at the end of the minor yellow road from Glenuig and walk.  It is, however, a lovely short walk to the isolated village of Smirisary which was deserted until recent times. The author, Margaret Leigh lived in one of the white-painted croft houses in Smirisary and in her book, The Spade Among the Rushes, recalls the trials and tribulations, as well as the enchantment, of a crofting lifestyle during the Second World War.

Glenuig and The Secret Beaches of Moidart

Watch out for the elephants as you approach Glenuig, and make sure to take the diversion along the wee road to the beach at Samalaman. Step back in time and imagine yourself as a crofter with your spade amongst the rushes at the old crofting village of Smirisary and follow the path to the lovely The White Sands beyond. Make time for lunch at The Glenuig Inn, visit The Moidart History House, pop into shop for a friendly chat and ice cream, and make sure you take home some tasty locally smoked produce from the Glenuig Smokehouse.
