The island is renowned for its exceptional windsurfing, surfing, and kitesurfing conditions, while boat trips offer opportunities to explore nearby islands and spot local wildlife. History enthusiasts can visit An Iodhlann, dedicated to preserving Tiree's heritage, or discover the fascinating story of Scotland's tallest lighthouse at the Skerryvore Lighthouse Exhibition.
