"Moody Mountains surround Tongue Beach" Tongue Things to Do Tip by scottishvisitor

After our hot and long walk from Castle Varrich it was time to cool off and visit the beach at Tongue. You can choose from the two sides of the Kyle from both sides of the bridge. We chose the left side where we encountered a wide pale golden sweep of sand so soft your feet just sunk in deeper and deeper making walking a bit of a challenge but also a great delight. There were few people to share the beach with, just a couple and a family with two children. The dogs had a great time splashing in and out of the cool sea and running the length of this pristine beach. It was quite windy but this does add to the atmosphere of these isolated places. I did enjoy the ever changing light conditions here, the endless sky and the hug of Ben Loyal and his brothers as the mountains stood in blue hues to welcome the coast.
