Loch Fyne: the spit walk at Otter Ferry

Be very mindful of the low/high tides as it changes fast. It is a walk you can only do at low tide, as you walk along the spit to the green buoy.
It will possibly feel a bit strange at first as you’ll be walking into the middle of the Loch. There are two types of lochs in Scotland; one is freshwater loch and the other is sea loch.

Loch Fyne is famous due to its kippers and mackerel as well as being the longest sea loch in Scotland.
When walking on the spit, if you are new to the area, bear in mind the tide times as most people are taken off guard. Not an area to be complacent with!
Dogs must be kept on the lead as there’s a lot of bird life here.
It is a rather stunning walk! Especially at sunset. A drink and/or food at the Oystercatcher pub is a great way to end your day at Otter Ferry!
