Coral Beach, Dunvegan
The beach "sand" here is composed of broken and ground shells, most of them consisting of the bleached skeletons of coralline algae from the nearby reef. The contrasting black rock is Jurassic basalt, raised up from the ocean floor. The island in the distance is Isay beyond which lies The Minch, the strait that separates the Inner and Outer Hebrides.
