We travelled the NC500 recently and included a tour of the outer Hebrides also. We cam across numerous beautiful beaches along the way...but this beach by far was the most stunning! Even on a grey day, the water was a stunning blue and a group of people were enjoying a cold but beautiful swim. Single track road and be careful of the many large pot holes in the car park. Stay all day...you won't want to leave...

This is an incredible beach that you must visit. It's one of the best beaches in the UK. It looks stunning during sunny days and is a perfect spot for paddleboarding or enjoying water activities. There is so much to do and see that even when it's busy, you can find a quiet spot on the cliffs where you can relax. Paid parking is available next to the beach. Without a doubt, this beach is a must-visit spot in Scotland, a total unspoil natural beauty.

Genuinely didn’t believe that beaches like this existed in Scotland. I’ve seen photos and heard rumblings but to see it firsthand was just amazing! For me, this was the best beach we seen during our NC500 adventure. Clean, white sand held in by crystal blue water. It could easily have been on a Caribbean island (the weather made this even more apparent). Its close proximity to the campsite was an added bonus - no more than a two minute walk. My wife and I discussed what we would’ve changed about our trip - we both agreed that we wish we’d had an extra day here. The kids absolutely loved the two hours we spent on the beach. Easily tops the list of things to do on the route! Be careful on the road from Lochinver if in a motorhome (quite narrow with drops).
