Description
Port Ban on the Isle of Iona is a stunning beach or shell sand and crystal clear water. A long gentle slope into the water and rocks protecting both sides and the entrance to the cove, this is a very safe swimming spot in a perfectly arranged scene. Absolute perfection.
Getting There
From Oban on the mainland, you can take the ferry as a foot passenger or by car to Craignure on the Isle of Mull (about 40mins). From there it is about an hours drive or bus ride to the Iona Ferry (10min crossing). Once on Iona, follow the roads/paths to the Iona Campsite and continue past towards the coast. Once you reach the beach turn right and follow the coast until you reach Port Ban which is about 45 mins from the ferry.
Accessibility
Very gentle slope and entry into the water. At high tide, it is about 5ft deep at 30m out. Surrounding rocks and cliffs provide shelter that results in calm waters most of the time.
