Where the forest meets the sea. The "Singing Sands," between Gortenfern and Kentra Bay.

            Commentary.

Such a secluded, secret, remote but exquisite place.
So special and ethereal that sometimes the fine shell-sand “sings” as the breeze glides across it, in this magical enclave between Ardnamurchan and Arisaig.
Three immaculate beaches hide in coves from Gortenfern Forest to Kentra Bay.
The pine trees almost play on the beach, and dunes have grown to 100 feet in height.
Only the forest itself has prevented further incursion.
So pure and pristine is this enchanting place, it feels like the hills, forest and beaches peacefully watch us, to ensure
that we refrain from spoiling this natural paradise.
