This walk is around 2 hours one way.

Starting from Applecross Bay, join the shale footpath behind the Herritage Centre. The Church, Herritage centire & The Manse should be behind you.  Continue past Curary (the white bothy) which will be on your left handside. 

The path will divert take the righthand fork sign posted for Sand, single file is required here as the path is narrow and steep. From this point onwards follow the well defind path which levels out eventually. Pass through the remnants of a kissing gate, no gate or fence to worry about. 

Cross a wooden bridge with a beautiful waterfall and pool beneath you, as you walk  the path will bend taking you further up on to the hills surrounding the Coast Road. Red deer and golden eagles reside here. Take time out to look at the view, on a clear day you'll be able to see Skye, Rassay and have a very unique view of the Inner sound. 

Cross over another wooden bridge, at this point the path will start to decline gradually, as the path rounds a bend Sand Bay and the MOD base come in to view. 

Be wary of a very steep section which has steps cut in to the path, these are quite large and may require some to jump down rather than step down. 

Continue to follow the path down towards the Coast Road, cross over the road and head down the tarmac track towards the MOD base. Take the lefthand path, cross the stream via the stepping stones and make your way through the dunes towards the beach. 

Sand dune and Monty Hall's bothy are only accessable from the beach. 

Action in reverse to get back to Applecross, or turn right to follow the Coast Road back towards  Applecross.
