thanks all any more info. what about the best islands with somewhere to land ie sandy bays and can I jump and pull the boat up on them and stake it down.
Thanks clyder. Ive done the sea for a couple of season at port edgar under the bridge has put me off a bit. good slipway, cheap berths £1 a day on parking area on trailor. but terrible lookin sea always grey and dirty looking. just fancy somewhere that in good weather the waters fairly clear to swim in. queensferry/fife/north sea doesnt do that for me. quite fancy west coast now that you mention it. lots good big islands for day trips thanks.
Also any what happens on the loch lomond concert time can you take your boat near the shore to hear the music or does everyone do that and no chance of getting launched! just sounds like a good idea to drop anchor and listen to the sex pistols !!! or if anyone wants another passenger I'll bring the tequila !!!

InchCalloch (SP) Is a good sandy bay. With regards to the concert I will be taking my bayliner over there to anchor for the day. It does get rock in to the shore at the park so just watch your depth as you head in.
See you on the water someday

inchmoan is the best island on loch lomond for beaches, the one coming up from balloch is the best in the good weather, but get there quick or its always full , and the water is quet shallow for a good bit out, once seen a boat do a full emergency stop when the boy in the water up to his neck, stood up to let them in lol

honeybee do you keep your boat on the water. Im looking for a berth for the summer in about a week or so. (if I get a carpet grrrr), any ideas. I was thinking about keeping it a a friends house near balloch slipway but is this really that busy there that I should avoid it. Also do you know if on the concert days there are large amounts of people waiting to launch.
Thanks jimm. Ive bought a second map of the loch just to write comments on and circle places to go or been, Ill add yours now before I forget. Any others

Don't forget to look out for the wallabies on Inchconnachan.

Isn't there also a sand bank just below the water surface, just south of those beachs on Inchmoan, something you need to watch out for, ok when levels are normal or high, but not when low.

Hi cheeny,
i do keep my 20ft boat in Cameron House on a pontoon mooring. Very expensive but you will also get a mooring on the river at Balloch for a qaurter of the price. I think Cameron house do have a few spaces just now so worth giving them a call if you need a mooring. It is the best on the Loch along with Fuel pumps on your door - you also get your fuel cheaper than outsiders by 20p per litre I think it is.
