Port Charlotte is an ideal base from which to explore Islay, and there is plenty to do in the village itself. During the summer, The Museum of Islay Life, and the Islay Wildlife Information Centre will provide something of interest for all the family, and there is a safe, sandy beach, as well as a small pier to keep the fishermen happy.
The village has a small shop and petrol station, and there are three options for eating out - the Croft Kitchen restaurant, the Lochindaal Hotel and the Port Charlotte Hotel. For more extensive shopping, Bowmore is only a 20 minute drive away, and Islay's larger beaches and other attractions are within easy reach.
Islay has seven working distilleries, all of which welcome vistors, and an excellent par 71 links golf course. There is also an award winning community owned leisure centre with 25m pool, gym, sauna and sunbed. With miles of sandy beaches and a variety of wildlife, Islay is the ideal holiday destination for lone travellers and families alike.
