The West Coast has lots of wonderful Islands to explore and Oban is often called the Gateway to the Hebrides for a reason. We have written quite a few FAQs and one of them is about how to get to the Islands.. and why and which Islands you should really visit..
Yesterday I was shown some videos of my friend's kids speeding across in some go carts along a 2 mile long sandy beach in Uist.. they're from Uist originally and knew all the best spots for me to make note of! Uist is an Island I've still not yet to get to but it's top top of my list.
If you want to explore more of Scotland's coast line (which when fully unravelled is so long it stretches all the way to Australia!) you can hop on the local ferry to go to the usual spots locally such as Mull etc which are nearby. Further afield Islands worth visiting might be Islay especially if you enjoy whisky.. I can recommend Lagavullin 👌🥃
If you're feeling really fancy or want to celebrate a special occasion why not take your own private boat ride guided by local companies in Oban, such as Hebrides Cruises who can take you anywhere around the islands you want to go.
Scotland's coastline is so long that if you unravelled it all it would stretch all the way to Australia. We discuss the many ways to explore it best.
