Scotland boasts a plethora of stunning beaches, with Sandwood Bay being hailed as one of the most breathtaking. Located on the farthest north-west coast of mainland Sutherland, VisitScotland has dubbed it "reputedly the most beautiful beach in Britain", largely due to its captivating dusky-pink hues. A world away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, this secluded haven offers a unique experience.
Its 1.5 miles of pristine pink sand ensures tranquillity, even on the brightest of days, owing to its remote setting. Although reaching it may pose some difficulties due to the lack of roads, parking is available at Blairmore's gravel car park, followed by a picturesque, albeit exposed, four-mile trail, reports the Express .
While the walk across the moorland might seem daunting, the awe-inspiring views will make the journey fly by. Moreover, the sight of the spectacular vistas over the North Atlantic from the white sands makes any effort worthwhile. After an enjoyable trek to the scenic Sandwood Bay , with its magical pink sands, hunger is bound to set in.
Naturally, there are no dining establishments directly on the beachfront. However, not too far away, the delightful Old School Restaurant and Rooms serves as a perfect pit-stop after your Sandwood Bay adventure. Living up to its name, this charming B&B functioned as a school from 1879 to 1970.
