This sandy track (it’s basically the beach!) takes you along the southern beach to join a set of tracks leading to the stunning northern beach at Balnakeil Bay. Access to the northern beach isn’t as easy as this one when you’ve got a fully loaded touring bike but it’s do-able (and worth the trek!).
