FabSwingers.com forum: Nicest beach in Scotland

We’re off to the beach today, nothing extravagant just somewhere in Ayrshire. It did get us thinking though, where is the best beach that you have visited in Scotland and why?

We’ve narrowed it down to about 8 or 9. It’s harder than you think.

Our list in no particular order -

Sango Sands near Durness

Clashnessie Beach, Lochinver

Clachtoll Beach, Lochinver

Hushinish, Harris

Seilebost, Harris

Luskentyre, Harris

Tolsta, Lewis

Uig, Lewis

Sanna Bay, Ardnamurchan

The Airport, Barra

Well that turned into a Top Ten

Newburgh Beach-Aberdeenshire has to be added, purely for the seal and dolphin spotting

Westport, on the West coat of Kintyre is stunning. There are other, smaller beaches around Kintyre that still feel like you're the only one who knows about them.

"Camusdarach beach is lovely "

We camped at Invercaimbe a few years back. A stones throw from Camusdarach campsite. Beaches along there were lovely. Sun setting over Eigg and Rhum was stunning.

Agreed. Arisaig (near Mallaig) is also fantastic, on a hot day you'd almost think it was tropical

Aberdour silver sands has a special place in my heart.

Me and my friend hiked up the top of the hill, behind the lighthouse and had a truly amazing experience under the stars.

It was a pretty beautiful view

Guess that's what helps make places very special, the location, atmosphere and everything falling into place to make it a perfect time

I was ambling about a few weeks back, found Brora beach, and also. Clachtoll beach, both for first time, and both fabulous beaches. There are some great beaches on Shetland Islands too

M originally from Harris, now on Isle of skye. I agree with your top ten list. There are some awesome wee hidden beaches on Harris and up north on the NC500 nobody goes to and are great for having some wet and wet times on

The tombolo or ayre as it's known in auld Norse that connects St Ninians island to the mainland Shetland Island looks amazing, sadly I've never been there.

I do a lot of scuba and Free diving in Scotland so far too many beautiful beaches to mention

From my childhood I would say Aberdour as mentioned above and any up the North West Coast and Outer Hebrides
