Noticed a feature in the latest copy of Reveal about the best beaches in Britain, it has Carskey bay, Southend in second place.

Good on Southend for getting a bit of publicity, but is it me, the picture seems to be from somewhere else, to many large buildings, just does not look right.

If I'm wrong, maybe its a good job I'm going to get my two yearly eye test this month :cry:

Anyone else with views on this?

No JD , I think you are right, you would be able to see the caves near the car park in that shot,
here is one i took a couple of years back, looking down from the Mull. Dont think there has been that much development since then!

It looks a bit like Machrihanish bay!

But does not seem quite right for Machrihanish either :?:

Well, JohnA you will know if it is Machrihanish Bay but it is def not Carskiey, and I note the publication spelled it wrong, but that does not mean anything of course.

I love that beach, have ran along it and back many times, and am delighted and proud to see it in the magazine but I just cant see how it can be named the second best beach in Britain.........there must be dozens more remote, better sand...etc etc etc, how about the one Oorly Gourlay posted of the Colonsay Beach.........and Carskiey is DANGEROUS! dont go swimming there whatever you do.......

But it IS very, very nice indeed and the good publicity could well bring more visitors to the area.

Yes John A your correct, it is Machrihanish bay, photo is taken close to the backs water, the building in the middle is the hotel and the white 1 too the left with th red roof, is the Warren. Definately Machrihanish, and quite an old photo.
