Known as the “Gateway to the Isles,” Oban is an enchanting coastal town in Scotland that has functioned as an important port for many years. It is also a perfect destination for sightseeing and water activities, including swimming, sunbathing, boating, and water sports. To witness the best view of the town, you have to take 144 steps and go up to McCaig’s Tower. It may be tiring, but the lovely gardens and majestic views from the top are worth the climb. Meanwhile, Corran Esplanade is where you can find restaurants, boutiques, and hotels. Tourists and locals love to stroll along this charming waterfront walkway. If you love the beach, you have to spend a day at Ganavan Sands, a spot where you can go kayaking, kite-surfing, paddle boarding, diving, and walking your dog.
