The beach below our house is the one I visit most, the views are always good and it's less than a minute walk away, easy to nip back for things you've forgotten or the toilet. The main picture on my website was taken there. The beach is a mixture of black sand and rocks, my kids spend hours there, looking for crabs or making sand castles or just playing in the water, sometimes you don't need to go far to have an excellent day out.

There are two golden sandy beaches near Oban. As you drive into Oban from Taynuilt you come to a roundabout. Take the second turn, at the next roundabout take the second turn and follow the road along for 1.2 miles (1.9km). Wee Ganavan is about a mile along, parking is along the side of the road and is free. Ganavan Sands is about another 0.7 of a mile (1.1 km) at the end of the road. Ganavan Sands has toilets but parking is not free. You will pass Dunollie Castle on the way to Wee Ganavan which is well worth a visit and has a Tea Room.
