A single-track roadway, the A888, runs around the shore of the southerly part of the island complying with the flattest land and offering the many seaside negotiations. The interior of the island here is sloping and also uninhabited. The west and also north of the island has white sandy beaches including sand produced from marine coverings adjoining the grassed machair, while the south eastern side has many rough inlets.
