A short walk to a little visited but beautiful sandy beach; the sands are covered when the tide is in so the walk is best done at low tide.
Boggy path to shore, then stepping stones. Depending on the state of the tide there may be rocks to scramble over to reach the beach.
None.
Parking area just east of Cuaig.

Park on the inland side of the road, just past Cuaig bridge when driving away from Applecross. The walk begins by heading back along the road and across the bridge. Take the path a short distance further on through the gate on right. The path is often muddy due to use by cows; it soon passes through a gap in a fence, keeping above the river at first.
Slowly the path slopes down to reach the river bank and becomes boggy, passing through another gate. Ahead on this side of the river, the bank has been built up as part of the construction of an old salmon fishing station. Cross the river using the large stepping stones.
On the other side, turn left to head towards the beach. It is easiest to keep just to the right of the old stone walls before heading across to the sands where there are fewest boulders; if the tide is half in you'd need to scramble over rocks to reach the beach - which is completely submerged at high tide. The beach here has wonderful fine sands at low tide and is very infrequently visited.
The return is the same way.
