The majority of Muck's population lives either in the small village of Port Mor in the south or around the beach at Gallanach in the north. The western half of the island is unpopulated but can be explored on foot. The entirety of Muck can be surveyed from Beinn Aireinn 449ft / 137m, the highest point of the island.
Camas Mor, a large bay on the south side of the island, has a rocky beach which receives a quantity of flotsam and jetsam brought onto land by prevailing currents.
There are five scheduled ancient monuments on Muck, all of which can easily be accessed on foot, although good waterproof footwear and long trousers is recommended for traversing boggy ground and thick undergrowth.
