Loch Beag (meaning “small lake”) is a cove on the west coast of Northern Scotland, in the vicinity of the Sound of Arisaig. Sound of Arisaig divides into Loch nan Uamh in the north and Loch Ailort in the south. Loch Beag is an inlet at the eastern end of Loch nan Uamh. It is 1.2 km (0.75 mi) long and 0.5 km (0.31 mi) wide, with a maximum depth of 21 metres (69 ft).
The area is scarcely populated, but the loch is used for a mussel fishery. Eider ducks also live around the lake.
