From the ferry, turn left and follow the shore road which eventually bears right up the hill. This area is a great place to spot the Corncrakes which nest in the iris beds.

At the end of the road go through the gate, over the machair and Camus Cuil an t-Saimh stretches as far as the eye can see.

The English translation is Bay at the Back of the Ocean.
