Queen's Bay / Loch Staosnaig
Drop anchor in Queen's Bay (Loch Staosnaig) on the east coast of Colonsay for a quietly spectacular slice of the Scottish islands — a deserted sandy beach with no facilities whatsoever, just clean water and sweeping views across to the mainland. It's the best sheltered anchorage on this side of the island, and if you fancy stretching your legs, the Colonsay Hotel in Scalasaig is within walking distance.
