Vatersay Bay is a beautiful half mile long sandy bay with a wide expanse of sand dunes.
Look out for the memorial to the 350 passengers who drowned when the Annie Jane was wrecked in the bay in 1853. The wreckage of a Catalina Flying Boat can be seen on the side of the road on the north side of the bay.
