The small village of Elgol is a pretty place to spend the night or at least a break. It has a café, some B&Bs and a restaurant with rooms. There are showers and internet available at the village hall and Elgol also has a well-stocked shop to resupply.
If you can spare some time, you can also take a boat trip to Loch Coruisk and to the small Isles of Rum, Eigg, Canna and Muck.
