5 Amazing Scottish Beaches That You Must Visit!

Author: garryaw1

Scotland is a Country of outstanding natural beauty; it has amazing hills, mountains, rivers and countryside that will quite literally take your breath away. It has also got an amazing number of beautiful beaches that in my opinion will equal anything in the world.

Admittedly in Scotland we don’t get the regular warm and sunny weather that many other countries receive. But never the less they are still fantastic beaches where you can have a fantastic time, no matter what the weather is like, as long as it isn’t raining!

For me beaches aren’t just for lazing around in the sun, getting a sun tan or sunburnt! I find them great places for relaxing, just sitting watching the waves, or going for walks, or even indulging in more strenuous activities such as beach games with the kid!

I have put together a list of 5 of my favourite beaches in Scotland:

Balmedie Beach: Balmedie, near Aberdeen. A huge expanse of beautiful golden sands and sand dunes, which stretches for over 23km.

Lunan Bay: Montrose: Is a broad east facing 10km beach of beautiful sand backed by dunes and framed by cliffs to the North and South.

Sanna Bay: Sanna, The Ardnamurchan Peninsula. Located at the most westerly point of Great Britain, it is one of the most isolated beaches in Britain with amazing white sands, dunes and rocks which will truly captivate anybody.

Sandwood Bay: Blairmore, Sutherland. One of Scotland’s best beaches, what makes it even more special is that you have to walk over an hour to reach it, an amazing stretch o 1.6km of golden sands and dunes, there is also an impressive sea stack called Am Buchaille

Scarista Beach: Harris, Western Isles. A fantastic stretch of fine golden sands, which stretches for almost 10km and it never, gets crowed.

Scottish beaches have a unique feel to them that you will not find anywhere else in the world; they are calming and have a definite sense of magic about them. I may have listed 5 but I could have listed many, many more, go explore for yourself the numerous great beaches that Scotland has to offer.
