Top 6 Beaches in Isle of Skye, Scotland
The landscape is dramatic—even a bit moody, with the Cuillin Range in the background—but outdoorsy kids will have a blast on the Isle of Skye. Plenty of water sports are available, and you’ll also find great hiking and even pony rides. Portree, the largest town, makes a great base for exploring this striking island.

The walk undulates through sheep paddocks and is wet in places, becoming quite braided and boggy once you leave the vehicle track. The beach is beautiful and in brilliant sunshine on the day we visited was reminiscent of the Aegean. Although there were numerous family groups and couples passed along the way the beach itself wasn't crowded and it was lovely enjoying a swim and a picnic before walking back to the car. Lovely on a fine day.

It is hilarious to read negative reviews based on the “long drive”, “spooky moss” and “unwelcoming signs”. The sign basically says that if your dog is off the lead and attacks the sheep, the farmer has the right to shot it. Quite right too. Keep your dog on a lead, like we did, and stop moaning. It is a mile from the parking area to the beach, if you can’t walk that far, ask the sea to move or stop being so lazy. The beach is rocky and pebbles at one half and black and grey sand at the other, and looks spectacular. We swam in the sea and the view back up the beach of amazing. The waterfall to the west adds to the scene. Sad to see so much plastic on the tide line, but rather than moan about it, do what we did and fill a bag and clear some up!
