The Boathouse Café & Campsite

Highlight • Cafe

Popular spot in summer, campsite is fairly small and it was quite busy / loud so opted to wild camp on the twin beach’s to the north of the island instead and stopped back at the boathouse on the way back the next morning to use the shower (metered) before catching the ferry back to Tayinloan.
