Kilmory Beach
Details
Kilmory beach is located by the small crofting township of Kilmory on the north coast of West Ardnamurchan. Kilmory beach is a lovely white sandy beach punctuated with volcanic outcrops. The beach is within a sheltered cove flanked by rocky promontories, with a small rocky islet (Ardtoe Island) on the east side of the bay. The beach affords some fine views of the Small Isles.
The bay also supports a small area of damp acidic grassland, Iris pseudocorus mire and damp fixed dune vegetation.
Kilmory Beach is a great place for stunning scenery and immersing yourself in the wilderness of Ardnamurchan peninsula. A great place for relaxing, beach combing and bird watching. Interesting features nearby include the walled graveyard Cill Mhairi with its old carved tombstones. There is also a Bronze Age standing stone at Branault, one of a pair, although only the base of the stone on the north side survives.
Access
The beach can be accessed via a short walk along a footpath from the village of Kilmory by the Old Post Office.
