There is a good car park at the end of the road that passes through Badachro and Port Henderson. From there a signposted path passes Red Point farm to the South beach. From the beach the path continues along the coast to the old Craig Youth Hostel, Lower Diabeg and eventually Torridon village.
There is an old fishing station at the S end of the beach. It looked as though one of the building had suffered from fire and in another some lobster fishing gear and cabling was stored.
At the N end of the beach there was a boat winch complete with boat - all in working order. I saw three winches still positioned along the route - this one was the only one in working order, the other two looking rather rusted and forlorn. The other two were at the South beach fishing station and on the southern shore of the North beach.
There is a good path that follows the coast between the two beaches - all pretty level. Red Point itself is not particularly high but the rocky coast and wide ranging views across to Applecross and Skye are worth the effort.
Route details here.
