Directions: From Scarinish head N on the B8065 for around 7 miles until you reach Balevullin. At the road end follow the Baile a Mhuilinn sign R then 250 yards later turn R down a narrow lane signed with a blue parking sign. You will reach the car park in 500 yards. A rough track heads NW out of the car park. Follow this track round the coast for around 300 yards and look N for a low lying promontory with a line of large stones on the coast.
