Adventure Coast

Sailing the east, west and north coast of the Lewis gives access to stunning white sand beaches, sheltered lochs, small harbours, wild anchorages and outlying uninhabited islands.

On the West Coast of Lewis, Loch Roag (Loch Rog) is a large sea loch, divided into East and West by the island of Great Bernera and other smaller islands. Its waters are very clear and home to salmon and mussel farms as well as being known for its hand dived scallops for sale in Miavaig.

Off the west and north coast of Lewis lie the Flannan Isles, North Rona, Sula Sgeir and the iconic Rockall.

To the east are the wild anchorages of Loch Shell, Loch Bhrollum, Loch Seaforth and Loch Marvig. 

The area north of Stornoway is a particularly quiet cruising area with several small council fishery piers at Bayble, Portnaguran, Brevig, and Skigersta with a community pier at Ness, with slipways at all but Bayble.

The island’s most northern point is the Butt of Lewis, which is considered to be more dangerous to round than Cape Wrath!
