A large natural harbour is formed between Canna and Sanday.
The pier on Canna and those of the other Small Isles, was rebuilt and enlarged in 2005.
This is used by the Caledonian MacBrayne ferry, MV Lochnevis, which links Canna, and the neighbouring Small Isles of Rùm, Eigg and Muck, to the mainland port of Mallaig (2½ hours away).
Lochnevis is capable of carrying motor vehicles, although NTS permission is required to land them.
The harbour is sheltered.
It is the only deep harbour in the Small Isles, and is very popular with west coast yachting traffic out of Oban and Arisaig.
