About Caol Beach

Caol is the village across the River Lochy from Fort William, and its shore at the head of Loch Linnhe looks across to Ben Nevis. The beach is rocky and runs next to houses, so it is easy to reach. A collector pinned it as having a good amount of glass in a wide range of colours.

Sea glass at Caol Beach

Reported colours include cobalt, teal, aqua, black, amber, green, seafoam, white and soft blue.

Visiting Caol Beach

Safety
Check the tide times before you go and head out on a falling tide, so you're never cut off. Keep away from the bottom of cliffs, wear sturdy shoes on rocks, and only take sea glass and other man-made rubbish: pebbles, sand and shells should stay on the beach.
