Ganavan Sands
– Oban’s own beach. Go left at the roundabout
as you head North out of Oban and follow the road
along the harbour front for about 2 miles –
also a pleasant walk. The beach can be busy but
peace can usually be found by carrying on the rocky
path beyond the beach which eventually leads to
Dunstaffnage. |

Tralee Bay – another popular
family beach but big enough to cope. Drive North
from Oban A828 over the Connel Bridge to Benderloch.
Park in the centre of the village and follow signs.
