Pabail is a small but popular village in the island area known as the 'Eye' which juts out from Stornoway in a peninsula fashion. In the summer months the population doesn't half increase with holidaymakers so popular is the place.

It has a small but pretty harbour with a smashing sandy beach and this has made it a terrific place for watersports of all sorts. Fishing is good from the harbour and the cliffs provide for some exciting seabird watching.

Other places around the district are Aignish with it's historical church ruins, and the nearby Riot Memorial Centre, and, Portnaguiran village with it's working harbour,a really beautiful place.

Fishing, watersports, cycling, walking and wildlife are the attractions of a very attractive area.

For eats the hotels, restaurants and cafes provide excellent fayre.
Hotel, guesthouse, caravan and camping sites are available.
