Geodha Roaga is a prominent coastal feature located in Inverness-shire, Scotland. It is classified as a headland, also known as a point, and is situated on the western coast of the Highlands region.

Geodha Roaga is characterized by its rugged and dramatic cliffs that extend out into the North Atlantic Ocean. These cliffs are composed of ancient rock formations, with layers dating back millions of years. The headland rises to a significant height, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding coastline and the vast expanse of the sea.

With its exposed location, Geodha Roaga experiences the full force of the Atlantic weather systems, resulting in strong winds and rough seas. The constant battering of the waves against the cliffs has sculpted the headland over time, creating intricate caves, arches, and stacks that add to its natural beauty.

The headland is also home to a diverse range of marine wildlife. Seabirds, such as gannets and fulmars, can be spotted nesting on the cliffs, while seals and dolphins are often seen swimming in the surrounding waters. Geodha Roaga is a popular spot for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts, who come to observe these fascinating creatures in their natural habitat.

Access to Geodha Roaga is relatively easy, with a well-maintained footpath leading visitors along the clifftops. However, caution is advised as the path can be steep and uneven in places. The headland offers a peaceful and secluded experience, with the sound of crashing waves providing a soothing backdrop to the stunning coastal scenery.
