Varkasaig Beach is known locally as Orbost Beach. It's a stunning place, off the obvious tourist trail but much loved by locals. The sand and rock is black which looks amazing. The sea is clear, and you can jump in off the rocks if you fancy a refreshing dip.

Look out for seals, deer and both golden and white-tailed eagles.

Access the beach down the track from Orbost Farm, if you fancy a wild adventure run out to Macleod's Maidens along the track heading south.
