Café
Roxy’s is an amazing cafe - lovely selection of Teas, Coffees, cakes, breakfast & Lunch.
This is my favourite spot to meet friends for coffee, breakfast or lunch. Always a good idea to book a table ahead of time although not always required.

Sightseeing
A gorgeous walk to one of my favourite view points in Oban - best after a day of dry weather as can be slippy after/during rainfall.

This is a bit out of Oban but if you have a car it’s well worth the trip to Easdale - definitely book ahead and let them know if you have kids under the age of 8, on rougher days the skipper may decide that children under the age of 8 can’t sail.
