Situated on the west coast of the country, it extends into the Atlantic Ocean, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The headland is characterized by its rugged cliffs, which rise steeply from the sea, creating a dramatic and picturesque scene.

The headland is known for its unique geological formations, with layers of ancient rock visible along its cliffs. These rock formations provide a fascinating insight into the area's geological history and attract geologists and nature enthusiasts alike.

Rubha Boraige Mòire is also home to a diverse range of flora and fauna. The surrounding waters are rich in marine life, making it an ideal spot for fishing and wildlife spotting. Seabirds, such as gannets and puffins, can often be seen nesting on the cliffs, adding to the area's natural beauty.
