Castlebay is also the main ferry terminal for the island with the Caledonian MacBrayne ferry making twice daily visits in the summertime from Oban, in the wintertime the ferry runs a more restricted service.

A further smaller ferry operates from Ardmhor on Barra to Eriskay and regular scheduled flights operate from Glasgow and Benbecula with the famous cockle sands being used as a runway when tides permit.

The Island of Barra forms part of the Outer Hebrides. The coastline of Barra is made up of rocky inlets interspersed with wonderful white sandy beaches and offers some stunning scenery, rare flowers and wildlife.

From the main road other minor roads lead off towards the scattered townships on the island where you will find a number of small craft outlets and cafes.
