Ullapool Sea Front

About Ullapool Sea Front

Ullapool's shoreline on Loch Broom is steep and pebbly, running from the ferry terminal round to the point. It is better known for sea pottery than glass, but the NC500 sea glass writer counts it among their best beaches for interesting pieces. Take your time and dig a little among the stones.

Sea glass at Ullapool Sea Front

Some sea glass (white, green, seafoam, amber), much of it patterned, and loads of sea pottery including blue willow stoneware. Best between the high and mid tide lines south of the ferry terminal; the slope is steep.

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.
