A true West Highland working croft holiday destination

We are located just about 1.5 miles north of Arisaig on the old coastal road to Mallaig at the start of the famous white sandy beaches that are more often associated with the 'White Sands of Morar' but start here at Bunacaimb, which is an old crofting township.
Invercaimbe is a traditional family run West Highland croft on a beach front location overlooking the islands of Muck, Eigg, Rum and Skye. We have beach frontage on both sides of the site where the estuary meets the sea and has provision for mooring and launching small boats.

It is possible to fish on the Caimbe Burn (small river) which flows through the croft and there are a wide variety of wildlife, flora and fauna to be seen, including many types of wader at low tide and inshore sea birds when the tide is full. These include Mergansers and Eider ducks, the waders include Redshank ,Golden Plover and Curlew. The croft land also provides a breeding ground for Skylark Lapwing Wheatear and Twite.

Otters breed higher up the Caimbe and have been known to bring their young down to feed in September in full view of the caravan site. Whales and Dolphins are in residence not far offshore in the Sound of Arisaig and locally run boat trips are available to see them and of course to see the seals which can even be seen on rocks on the shore very close to the Caimbe.
