Where? Islay

The Isle of Islay is the most southerly of the Inner Hebridean Islands and is otherwise known as the Queen of the Hebrides. The Island is both tranquil and buzzing – a wonderful place for an activity packed holiday – or a totally relaxing one! There are two ferry terminals on Islay: Port Ellen and Port Askaig. As you approach Port Ellen on the ferry you look onto the row of whitewashed buildings overlooking the golden sands – a stunning sight on approach. Kilnaughton Bay stretches west of Port Ellen and is one of Islay’s most accessible beaches. Kilnaughton Bay at the White Hart Beach is shallow and perfect for paddling, with views across to Carraig Fhada Lighthouse and the Mull of Kintyre. It is also home to the Islay Beach Rugby. Tournament involving 27 teams!
