Obviously this is the road for monster-spotting. Surprisingly, all the tourist tat is on the other side of the loch because the coaches use the A82. You're much better off …

Wonderful small beach on the lake, where the hut of the Nessie is located. You don't have to go to the café, there are tables right on the beach.
