Holy Loch Marina
Holy Loch Marina sits on the eastern shore of Holy Loch, a sheltered inlet off the Firth of Clyde with a striking backdrop of wooded hills. You can anchor off here and take in the quiet surroundings of Sandbank village, with Dunoon just a short distance away for provisions and a wander. The loch itself carries a fascinating history, having served as a US Navy submarine base during the Cold War, which gives the area an unexpected depth beyond its scenic appeal.
