Loch Snizort Beag (57°31'N., 6°22'W.), providing excellent shelter, is entered E of Lyndale Point (57°32'N., 6°24'W.), a steep to shelf of low rock at the end of a high promontory which divides the loch from Loch Greshornish. Loch Snizort Beag is deep, with few dangers in the fairway. There is an occasional below water rock lying as far as 0.1 mile off the shores of the loch which is bold and steep to along its SW side, whereas the NE side is cultivated and sloping. The head of the loch is filled by drying flats. There are two villages, Skeabost (57°27'N., 6°19'W.) and Bernisdale (57°28'N., 6°20'W.), the former at the head of the loch. Anchorage can be taken, in suitable depths, good holding ground, in Loch Snizort Beag, and also between Dun Liath and Uig Bay.
