Ramp Description:
Wide ramp going down onto shingle at low tide. The slipway is all tides and will handle any size of boat. There is normally a 4-wheel drive available if you don’t want to get your wheels wet! Please ring before, if you need assistance, to ensure that Mark is around and not on his annual trip to the big city (Oban!).
