03 · Location

In context.

An 850 m sheltered sandy beach facing north-north-west onto a bay, backed by machair dunes. A gradual, shallow entry makes it a popular family beach for swimming and paddling. The beach break is infrequent, working mainly in winter on a west groundswell with a south offshore wind; summer is typically flat. Holds Blue Flag status; dogs must be leashed. Temporary bathing bans have occurred due to water-quality issues. Seasonal lifeguards patrol in summer.

Can 4Shor provide more accurate forecasts than my existing app?
