About us
Our vision
The connection between land and sea has been integral to the Minginish community for hundreds of years. It’s a connection we want to share with you.
We would like visitors who arrive by land to be able to explore by sea.
We would like visitors who arrive by sea to be able to explore the land.
We want commercial fishermen to know that they can find a safe and welcoming harbour here. We want our youngsters to grow up with a love of the sea and boats.
It’s our aim to create a thriving harbour culture that adds to the vitality of the area and endures for generations to come.
Integral to this vision is the infrastructure. Piers, slipways and pontoons are bridges that allow people to move between the land and the sea.
Our facilities
Carbost Pier Ltd. at Carbost Waterfront provide and develop facilities, including a pier, launching slipway, pontoon jetty, parking, picnic areas and public toilets and showers. Operating as a charity, we want to nurture the permanent link between the communities of the area and the maritime environment.
