Loch Snizort is a sea loch in the northwest of the Isle of Skye between the Waternish and Trotternish peninsulas. It is fed by the River Snizort, originating in the hills east of Bracadale.[1] The mouth of Loch Snizort gives access to the lower Minch and contains the Ascrib Islands.
Sea fishing in Loch Snizort yields mackerel, pollock, and ling.[2]
