Asknish Bay[1] is a small, remote, southwest-facing coastal embayment, located next to the small settlement of Arduaine within Argyll and Bute, Scotland. To the east of the bay lies Arduaine Point (Gael: Rudh' Arduaine), which makes up the west most southern coast of Loch Melfort to the north.[2] It is 12 miles (20 km) south southwest of large west coast town of Oban.
