Directly south of Sandaig Bay is the sea
Loch Hourn that separates the peninsulae of
Kintail to the north and
Knoydart to the south. The view to the west is the
Sound of Sleat, dominated by the twin peaks of
Beinn na Seamraig at and
Ben Aslak at that overlook the bay on the
Isle of Skye. Further to the north is a further two peaks on the Isle of Skye that can be seen from the bay, the closest peak to the bay and the highest peak on the north of Skye is
Sgurr na Coinnich at and the furthest away is
Beinn na Caillich at . Sandaig Bay is known by the blown sand that has accumulated at its head. At the head of the Bay in the north corner, is the former Roman Catholic chapel. At the east side of the bay lies several rocky islands, some two
cable lengths from shore i.e. lying at the entrance to the bay. The larger islands are called
Eilean Mòr,
Fraoch Eilean and the smaller
Sgeir nan Eun. The islands and together with western exposure, make it an unsafe anchorage. ==References==
