About

Village Bay provides plenty of opportunities for photography either in the old village or on the beach.

Photographers Tip

Large rollers often crash onto the beach. There are nice large rounded bolders on edge the sandy beach. The long ridge of Dun is on the west side of the bay. Early to late morning is good for the best light.
