About

Swim in Loch Moidart at High Tide overlooked by the castle. At low tide the water goes out and you can walk round the sands all the way round the castle. There is a gentle slope in and then it becomes deep quickly. A very small coarse beach. Alternatively you can swim from either of the beaches or the spit of land as you approach the castle.

Location

Getting there

Park in the car park to your right at the end of the road. There is a short walk to the castle and a fairly uneven path you have to make your way down. The beach at the far side of the castle is not wheelchair or buggy accessible, but the others are.

Accessibility

Trip hazards on the way down, but the water itself quite accessible

Plan your swim

Before you go

  • Check tide times before entering — incoming tides can cut off escape routes
  • Watch for rip currents, especially near groynes and headlands
  • Cold water shock is real — enter slowly and control your breathing
  • Always swim with others or tell someone your plan
  • A tow float makes you visible to boats and other water users

Conditions change fast. Always check the latest data, read recent community reports, and swim within your ability.

Frequently asked questions

Is this beach safe for swimming?

Check the Conditions tab for current wave height, swell and wind. Review the Water Quality tab for the latest Environment Agency classification. Always read recent community reports for local knowledge.

When is the best time to swim here?

Check the Tides tab for today's high and low times. Many coastal spots are best around high tide when there's enough water depth, or during slack water when currents are weakest.

What should I bring?

A tow float for visibility, warm layers for after, and footwear for rocky entries. In colder months, consider a wetsuit, gloves, and a swim cap.
