The Bay of Portree is a sheltered, horseshoe-shaped sea bay on the east coast of the Isle of Skye and forms the natural centre of the town. It offers calm waters ideal for fishing boats and small vessels.
Surrounded by rolling hills and steep shores, it creates a particularly picturesque landscape. The colourful houses along the harbour often reflect in the water, shaping the well-known scenery.
The bay is not only economically important but also a popular destination for walks, photography, and boat trips along the coast.
