Parking notes
Use the main Ganavan Sands car park. Visit Oban says parking can be limited and recommends the bus from town; Wee Ganavan has only limited on-road parking.
Responsible travel
Use designated parking. If the main car park is full, use the bus or choose another stop rather than parking on verges or obstructing local access.
Please use designated parking, avoid blocking roads or passing places, respect local communities, and check current conditions before travelling.
