Overview

Crossapoll is a sandy beach on the south coast of Tiree, offering more sheltered conditions than the island's west beaches. The south-facing bay benefits from a calmer body of water when the dominant northwest winds blow, creating ideal side-shore conditions. Good spot for the days when the west coast is too rough.
