Badachro is a splendid centre for many outdoor activities.

Sea-fishing for haddock, whiting and mackerel is popular. There is also plenty of scope for fly fishing in the many fresh water lochs in the area.

Climbing and hill walking are very popular, from challenging peaks to easy rambles.     Cycling is a great, if energetic, way to get around the area and bikes can be hired locally.  

Information regarding local walks can be found at Gairloch and Torridon walks.

There is a large and excellent sheltered anchorage and half a dozen glorious beaches with safe bathing within a short distance of Badachro.
