Coigach has no less than 7 sandy beaches although only Achnahaird has sand at high tide.
There is good coastal walking and hill walking with some of the best views on the west coast. Our walks leaflet and the Coigach Geotrail offer a number of local walking routes. The recently published ‘Walker’s Guide to Coigach and Assynt’ details a number of additionl routes.
Locally there are boat and kayaking trips, sea and fly fishing, mountain guides and climbing instructors.
If you want to look a little further afield for a day out either to the north or the south here are some popular excursions.
