A CLOSER LOOK
Discover Shell Beach
A small cove of broken shells at the end of Tarbert’s Pier Road.
What to expect
This small cove near the end of Pier Road is notable for its covering of broken shells and its views across Loch Fyne. The local visitor information describes it as a coastal walk from Tarbert, making it a different outing from the harbour itself.
Planning your visit
The approach includes rough ground and a rocky scramble, so it should not be treated as a step-free beach. Use suitable footwear and assess the return route before continuing. Parking is limited in the published route description; avoid blocking local access and take litter back with you.
