Sanna is a cluster of crofts and a series of small sandy bays at the end of a single-track road off the road to Ardnamurchan Point. At low tide the sand stretches out in pale curves and the islands look close enough to swim to. It's one of the better sunset spots on the mainland.

Good to know

  • Take the last stretch slow, it is narrow
  • Check the tide for the best sand
  • Few facilities, bring what you need
