The sandy beach at Port Bawn on Inchcailloch, looking out over the calm loch to low wooded islands

Take the little ferry from the boatyard at Balmaha to the wooded island of Inchcailloch, walk up to its summit, then down to the sandy bay at Port Bawn.

Why it's a good date: A few minutes on a boat and you're on a nature reserve with an old burial ground, bluebells in May and a beach for your picnic. Bring everything you need: there's nothing to buy on the island.
