If you want a taste of the West coast but an easy day trip head to Arisaig. Its a lovely drive and head over for lunch at the Arisaig hotel. Head towards Back of Keppoch then turn left to the dead end road with the tiny deserted beaches on it. Views over to the Isles. Carry on up to Mallaig for a longer day out.
