An Caolas Fuideach Fuday (or Fuideagh, pronounced "Fujay") lies off the Eoligarry peninsula at the northern end of Barra. The mile wide sound separating Fuday from Eoligarry is shallow and dotted with reefs and skerries. Cattle used to be swum across the sound for summer grazing. Beyond the flowering machair lies the beach Traigh na Reill and across the sound the hills of Eoligarry. It is nearly low water and some of the skerries are visible.
