St Ronan’s Bay Beach is one of the most frequently visited and easily accessible beaches on the Isle of Iona. It is situated directly in front of the main village, Baile Mòr, and is immediately to the right of the CalMac ferry pier. This prime location makes it a highly convenient spot for day-trippers and families, offering a beautiful introduction to the island’s coastline with minimal walking required upon arrival.

The beach is characterized by its lovely white shell-sand, which makes it ideal for relaxing, enjoying a picnic, or building sandcastles. The waters here are relatively shallow, making it a safe and popular choice for paddling. At low tide, the receding water reveals rocks and small pools, which provide excellent opportunities for children and nature enthusiasts to explore the local marine life.

Offering wonderful views across the Sound of Iona toward the Isle of Mull, St Ronan’s Bay is a perfect place to watch the daily life of the island unfold, from the local ferry maneuvering to the movement of pleasure craft. Its position near the village means visitors are only a few steps away from the island’s shops and conveniences. The bay is also a focal point for the local community, often used to launch the island’s bright red coastal rowing skiff.
