The road skirts around this sheltered bay. It affords beautiful views across the calm water and to the ferry jetty. The jetty is now defunct since the construction of the causeway.

A stunning causeway joining Eriskay with South Uist. The Eriskay Causeway opened in 2001, making the traditional island life and natural beauty accessible via road. On the causeway, you'll be surrounded by clear, light-blue water.
