Calgary Bay
site of interest / camping area
Calgary is the largest and most accessible beach in the north of Mull — a sweeping stretch of soft white sand framed by rocky cliffs and rolling green hills. Its crystal-clear waters invite you for a refreshing swim on a calm day, while the wide shoreline is perfect for a leisurely wander in search of a quiet spot to call your own.
Above the beach, follow the Art in Nature woodland trail: a gentle route threaded with sculpture and carvings that climbs to the gallery and café overlooking the bay. For refreshments, the café at Calgary Bay (Calgary Bay Co) serves coffee, cakes and light lunches — opening hours vary seasonally, so it’s worth checking ahead. You can also park overnight here in a campervan for a small fee to the cafe. At the south end of the bay, there’s another simple, designated camping area for tents and small vehicles (no hook-ups) with public toilets nearby. Please camp considerately and leave no trace.
Getting there: Calgary Beach is around a 25-minute drive from Tobermory, following the B8073 west through Dervaig. There’s a car park right by the beach, but it can fill up quickly in summer — arriving early or later in the day will give you a better chance of a peaceful visit.
