Langamull Beach

Langamull Beach, often hailed as one of the Isle of Mull’s most exquisite and somewhat “secret” beaches, is a truly breathtaking expanse of white shell sand located on the island’s remote north-west coast. What makes Langamull so special is its unparalleled beauty combined with the effort required to reach it; unlike many other beaches, it’s not directly accessible by car. Instead, visitors embark on a picturesque walk of approximately 20-30 minutes from a small parking area near the B8073 road, winding through woodland and across moorland, building a sense of anticipation for the reward that awaits.

Upon arrival, the view is nothing short of spectacular. Langamull boasts incredibly fine, almost flour-like, white sands that stretch along a secluded bay. The water is famously clear and takes on an astonishing turquoise hue, particularly on sunny days, evoking images of tropical paradises rather than the Scottish Hebrides. The beach is often relatively deserted, even during peak season, allowing visitors to truly immerse themselves in its profound tranquility and the raw natural beauty of the surroundings. Views from the beach extend out across the vast Atlantic, with the distant outlines of the Outer Hebridean islands of Coll and Tiree often visible on the horizon.

Langamull is the perfect destination for those seeking an unspoiled coastal experience, away from the crowds. It’s ideal for peaceful walks, wild swimming in its crystal-clear waters (for the brave!), beachcombing for unique shells, or simply relaxing and soaking in the serene atmosphere. The journey itself, through Mull’s rugged landscape, contributes significantly to the feeling of discovery, making Langamull Beach a truly unforgettable highlight for any visitor to the island.
