The entire coast is reef fringed and foul. At Ardnave Point (55°53'N., 6°20'W.), the coast is broken by Traigh Baile Aon ghais, a lengthy and very shallow inlet. Balach Rocks, drying, lie just off the entrance to the inlet which is fronted by foul ground extending as far as and encircling Nave Island, lying 0.4 mile N of the point. Anchorage can be taken, in a depth of 5.5m, good holding ground, about 250m SE of Nave Island.
