Exciting coastal path around the Sgùrr na Stri peninsula in a great bay with a sandy beach that almost spreads Caribbean feelings. The small climbing passages are easy to do. You should also bring some orientation. Definitely worth it!

We attempted this route only to be hit by rain and wind just before the Bad Step. At that point it was too dangerous and we had to back track over the pass for 1 1/2 hours to get back on route 6 to the bothy. I recommend only attempting this route if sunshine is certain!
