With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to experience everything that Gairloch, 25 miles away, has to offer. Redpoint Beach, Big Sand Beach and Gairloch Beach alone make the drive out here worthwhile. Isle of Skye is another popular option. It’s 25 miles away and has an array of fascinating things to see and do. Talisker Distillery, Fairy Pools and Faerie Glen are just the start.
