This short walk to a little visited but beautiful sandy beach. The walk is best done around low tide as the sands are covered when the sea comes in.
Bog Factor
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.
Parking just east of Cuaig.
None.

Park on the inland side of the road where it is widened, just east of Cuaig bridge. The walk begins by heading west along the road and across the bridge. Around 80m after the bridge turn right to head through a gate. The path beyond is good at first but becomes boggy; soon it passes through a gap in a fence, keeping to the top of the bank above the burn at first.
Slowly the path slopes down to reach the river bank and becomes very 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 and boat nousts before heading across to the sands where there are fewest boulders. If the tide is half in you'll 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.
