Oban's own sandy beach, fabulous views, to Mull, Lismore and Ardnamurchan. Follow the cycle track to Dunbeg and find your way back over the hills.

Enjoy island life with a day trip to Kerrera. The ferry ride from Gallanach just takes a few minutes, there are a variety of routes round the island on rough tracks (sturdy footwear recommended) and stunning views of Mull, the sound of Kerrera seascape, Gylen Castle and an amazing tea-room!
