I love the Whiteshore it’s such a lovely beach to visit & the walk over on the forest path is magical. You could spend a relaxing day over on the Whiteshore, have a bbq on the beach or just sit & take in the magnificent beauty for a while.

If you fancy a day away, the Portavadie ferry is a 5 minute walk from Red Lodge, in the summer it goes every hour, treat yourself to a spa day in Portavadie with its infinity pool looking across the water to Tarbert. It has a bar & restaurant where you can sit & an outdoor area overlooking the marina. Nice 😊
