Formerly a fishing village, Ardmair is located Script error: No such module "convert". north of Ullapool along the A835 road.[1] It is a popular holiday resort, with a caravan site and a number of holiday homes. During the holiday period, visitors can hire a boat from the beach at Ardmair, including canoe boats.[2] The peak of Ben Mor Coigach is to the north, and is sometimes climbed by people staying in Ardmair.[3]

Ardmair lies on the shores of Loch Kanaird. The River Kanaird flows into Loch Kanaird to the north of Ardmair Point; it rises in the hills to the north-east of Ullapool.

Offshore from Ardmair Bay lies Isle Martin, about a kilometre from Ardmair Point at its nearest point. This island is managed as a nature reserve, and was owned by the RSPB until 1999. On 3 May 1999 ownership of the island passed to a charitable trust formed by the local community, who agreed to assume responsibility for the island.[4] The trust runs a passenger ferry running from Ardmair to Isle Martin on some days in the summer.[5]
