From Ruvall we paddled west along the remote north coast of Islay.

The cliffs became considerably higher...

...as we approached Bagh an Da Dhoruis (Bay of the Two Doors).

The only footprints on the sands of this huge beach were our own.

The islands of Oronsay and Colonsay could just be seen, far on the northern horizon.

We made our way to the back of the beach...

...where we had spotted what looked like a "door" through the cliffs.
