Rock outcrops
The rock outcrops on the shore at Bennane Lea are a delight. Isolated blocks of reddened ultramafic rock are almost covered by sand before the stacks comprising basaltic tuff and breccia mark the end of the long, sandy shore to the south.

Sea stacks and cave
Fabulous, abandoned sea stacks are just above the modern tide level at the foot of cliffs on Bennane Hill. There is little evidence of the raised beach here because of its limited extent on the steep cliffs and disturbance by road construction. The rocks are varied in colour from red to green and blue, reflecting the alteration of ultramafic rocks which belong to the Ballantrae Ophiolite Complex.
