The tourist attraction of Kilt Rock is situated to the east of the township; it comprises spectacular sea-cliffs 55 metres (180 ft) tall, made of dolerite rock strata in many different colours. Kilt Rock boasts a dramatic waterfall created from the outflow of Loch Mealt.

The nearest settlement of any size is Staffin, about a kilometre to the north.
