Sandy beach with a nice little cafe. Much busier than Kilchattan Bay on the other side of the island. Rather than turning back the way I came (like I had to at Kilchattan which is a dead end), I rode along the little path to reach the other road. My road tyres coped well with the mix of sand, grass, stones and bumps.... but it's speed and smooth riding you're after turning back might be a better idea!
