Sanna Bay will simply take your breath away, on a nice day you could easily spend the whole day here, picnic, flask and games etc. or even on a rainy day, you could brave it like me and go for a swim and have no regrets. If you're visiting Ardnamurchan, you must visit Sanna Bay.

What a fantastic beach. We have been to some very nice remote beaches in the UK and this is number one for us. The beach is beautiful sand, there are rock pools for exploring, a beautiful backdrop and the water was lovely to swim in. There is a very quickly changing landscape as the tide comes in and goes out very quickly. There are some outcrops / islands to swim across and it is also safe to canyon from them into the pools behind. We did wear wetsuits as did the kids. This was on a 20C day in August There is parking for about 20 Cars we arrived at 9am and when we left in the afternoon there were too many cars for the car park, so arrive early. The barnacles are sharp so would suggest neoprene shoes or similar when in the water if you do plan to climb the rocks.

Sanna Beach is a remote but beautiful beach. There's a small, free car park just a 3 minute walk from the beach. The beach itself has the most beautiful white sand and blue water, it was incredible that these views are on our coast line. There are no facilities, so make sure you pack food and drink.

This is a beach to put on your bucket list! The drive along the single track road is long, very long (and fun in some places… think Top Gear roads)….. the scenery makes up for the long drive. There’s a couple of places to stop off along the way for photo opportunities, and it’s worth doing. Honestly! There’s a car park at the end of the long winding road, which has a foot track town to the beach. It’s quite unsuitable for anyone with walking problems. The beach is beautiful. Gorgeous sands and turquoise water. Make sure you take food/drink for the day, as there’s not a lot around and you may end up quite hungry. You will pass some small village shops along the way but there’s nothing at the beach that we saw. The sea was freezing (august) but we did get a bit of a swim.
