Definitely not a good one for if it is wet - get's very slippery! But so worth it if the weather is nice as the walk around the headland is stunning and lot more up and down than you would expect. If you keep to the right when you come down you will get to two big pillars in the sea.

Hiking

The climb down to Loch Hunish could be slippery and steep but is worth the effort. In summer months, you can see some puffins or even whales swimming along the shore.
