Moonen Bay

Perched at the far end of Skye’s most westerly point, you will find one of the most resplendent sunset vantage points. Melt into the mood as golden hour drips honey tones across the saw-toothed coastline that ripples into the sea. While many will head to Neist Point for sunset, there’s plenty more to keep photographers engaged any time of the day. Take the 1.3-mile walk to the tip of the peninsula to explore the lighthouse. Or, soak up the views from the grassy slopes that look out over Moonen Bay toward Waterstein Head. Wildlife photographers may also get a glimpse of whales, porpoises, basking sharks, and dolphins as they frolic about in nearby waters.
