Carsaig Bay

Carsaig Bay is a cove on the Ross of Mull in the south of the island of Mull, on the west coast of Scotland. It is situated 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) eastward of Rudha Fhaoilean, and 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) south of Pennyghael along a "narrow unclassified road". The bay is small and is surrounded by high, precipitous hills. It is unsafe for water craft, except in the part sheltered by the island of Gamhnach Mhòr, where small vessels can obtain anchorage. The northeastern part of Carsaig Bay is rocky and foul from 180–370 metres (590–1,210 ft) offshore from the eastern end of Gamhnach Mhòr to the head of the bay. Three of the rocks are marked by perches to facilitate the approach to Carsaig Quay. The tidal streams along the south coast of Mull are weak westward of Carsaig Bay.
