Come and explore the beaches of Assynt and Coigach at the Rock Stop this August 🌊

For all of August, the Rock Stop is exhibiting “Portraits of the Edge: Beaches of Coigach and Assynt”. Take a closer look at the magnificent beaches here in the North West Highlands, and be inspired to explore them further, in this free exhibit of photography and poetry.

The Rock Stop Cafe and Exhibition is located one mile south of the Kylesku Bridge, and is open 10-4, Monday to Friday. The Cafe is serving hot and cold drinks, soup and sandwiches, and cakes. The North West Highlands Geopark main exhibition is also free to enter with interactive activities for all ages.
