The view to the west is the Sound of Sleat, dominated by the twin peaks of Beinn na Seamraig at and Ben Aslak at that overlook the bay on the Isle of Skye. Further to the north is a further two peaks on the Isle of Skye that can be seen from the bay, the closest peak to the bay and the highest peak on the north of Skye is Sgurr na Coinnich at and the furthest away is Beinn na Caillich at .
