Talisker Bay Beach Walk
This walk visits Talisker Bay on the Minginish peninsula in the Isle of Skye.
There is a roadside parking area just east of the bay where you can start your walk. From here follow the trails south west for just over a mile and they will lead you to Talisker Point and the beach. Here you will find a lovely, quiet beach with some impressive sea stacks and views to a waterfall.
To continue your walking in the area head east to visit the delightful Fairy Pools. You can also find the circular walk around Loch Coruisk in this area.

The bay features a mix of both black and white sand, which blend together in intricate patterns, particularly noticeable at low tide. This interplay of colours creates a surreal and ever-changing mosaic, offering a visually stunning contrast against the dramatic backdrop of cliffs and rocky outcrops.

Isle of Skye: Talisker Bay and Waterfall. The northern side of Talisker Bay is dominated by towering cliffs and a waterfall that cascades down into the sea, especially impressive after heavy rain. On the southern side, a prominent sea stack adds to the bay's dramatic scenery, framing the view in a way that feels secluded and otherworldly. Despite its remote location, the bay attracts visitors seeking solitude and breathtaking coastal scenery, making it a peaceful retreat for those exploring the Isle of Skye. The short walk to Talisker Bay, through farmland and along a river, is an added attraction, enhancing the sense of adventure and discovery.
