The turn for Duncansby Head is just a few hundred metres up the road from John O'Groats in the direction of Wick. After a couple of miles you arrive at a car park (free)near a lighthouse. A short 10-15 minute walk across fields will bring you to the most amazing view of Duncansby stacks. Well worth a visit just for the stacks however we also got to see seals and some great nesting birds on the cliffs.

We started the walk just before 9am and were the only two on the beach when we got there around 80mins later. The walk to the beach is relatively flat with a couple of small ups and downs. There is a stunning backdrop of the larger mountains in the area and small lochans are dotted along the way. Once you turn the final curve of the land Sandwood Bay stretches out to the left with Sandwood Loch to the right. A stunning view with mountain, lochs and coastline in one panorama. The water was tinted with turquoise and there are big dunes leading to the beach front. I would absolutely recommend the 13km round walk and would also recommend going early ish to get pass the night campers on their way back and to miss the day visitors heading down a little later. There is a donation box in car park for John Muir Trust who cleans the car park facilities and ensures the natural, remote beauty of Sandwood Bay is maintained.

Three of us popped in on the last Friday in October and the friendly volunteers explained that as we were lighthouse enthusiasts, we might want to come back the following day to meet a volunteer who had been a keeper. We had a wonderful Saturday and afternoon, in the company of a very knowledgeable man and after we had spent some time in the lighthouse section and particularly studying the optic, we spent a lot of time exploring the various different displays, each showcasing life in Wick. Excellent accounts of local history. It is a magical treasure trove of past lives and most people should find something to interest them. The museum thoroughly deserves all the plaudits

I went here for my 50th birthday. It was stunning and very very special. White sand, blue sea, and freezing cold (it was January!). A must-visit part of the UK.

What a fabulous beach and worth a detour if driving the North Coast 500. Car park with toilets and a short walk to beach. Sandy with waves crashing on rocks, surrounded by hills and some fields with highland cows! We spent a very pleasant couple of hours here and had to tear ourselves away to continue the drive.
