The Beach

Although Kenmore is right in the middle of the Highlands, many miles from the sea, we do have a beach! It is not exactly huge, but great fun can be enjoyed on it in the summer months. The beach is to be found at the very eastern end of Loch Tay and has both sand and shingle. It shelves very gently, so in the summer the water really warms up as it is trapped by the prevailing winds. It is a popular spot for bathing, so launching of boats is not permitted, but both Croft-na-Caber Water Sports Center and the Loch Tay Boating Center have slipways for this purpose. Because of the many champion trees along the shore fires are not allowed. Parking is by the beach or in the villiage and public toilets are at Taymouth Trading or Kenmore Hotel.
