    The scene of Viking landings, numerous shipwrecks and many a wild camp, Sandwood Bay is considered one of Britain's most stunning beaches. A large stretch of golden-pink sand faces off against the wild North Atlantic, with Cape Wrath to the north and the towering Am Buachaille sea stack to the southwest. The beach is flanked on either side by impressive cliffs and is even home to a dramatic little waterfall.



    The area is owned and managed by the John Muir Trust and can be accessed via a path from Blairmore. Inland from the beach is the beautiful freshwater Sandwood Loch and the ruins of a former croft. To the east is the Strathchailleach bothy, a former farmstead that makes for an excellent overnight objective.

      Luckily, the beautiful sandy beach can only be reached via a long hike and is therefore not too crowded. It is a worthwhile hiking destination when the weather is nice.
