Barra Island Tours

Let Rob or Paul take you to see Barra’s unique tiny airport, where the plane lands on Traigh Mhor (Big Beach). Barra airport is the only one in the world to have scheduled flights landing on a beach, so even if you have flown in it's a sight well worth seeing. See the abandoned village at Balnabodach, and take in the beautiful scenery and wild life that makes Barra what it is.

Eriskay Beach

Reviewed By Z6538VFrobertb - Kincardine, United Kingdom

If you are on the outer Hebrides this is a must visit. The drive over to Eriskay from Uist is amazing in itself. The beach is close to the road so very easy access. As soon as you see the beach you will see a massive white sand beach with stunning clear waters. We took wetsuits and went for a swim then had lunch after the water is refreshing and if it’s sunny it’s like the carribean.

Uig Sands

Reviewed By Scotlandmac - Glasgow, United Kingdom

The whole area around the extensive Uig Sands is a must visit on any trip to Lewis.An hour or so from Stornoway but definitely Lewis's most beautiful area (along with Mangersta and Reef.) In fact this must be one of the most impressive areas in the whole of the Outer Isles. We were lucky in that the sun shone and we walked from the car park, for 20 mins to a particularly deserted part of the Uig sands (you could walk for miles all round the little bays and headlands) and had a picnic. Paradise. Beautiful pink/orange rock of the type I've seen on Iona were a gorgeous backdrop to the turquoise seas and white sands. There is a free (donation) area behind the main part of the beach, set back from the dunes, where wild camping is allowed supported by public toilets/showers. A replica large Lewis Chessman is passed while heading to the parking. Luskentyre is still to me the most beautiful area of all (and in any weather given the colours and rock/moorland there) but Uig is stunning also.

Eoropie Dunes Park

Reviewed By colinmV761IH - Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

There are quite a few mentions in the reviews here that toilets were not installed during the time of folks' visits. I can now confirm there's a brand new facility with disabled access and baby changing. All that's asked for is a 30p contribution. It's to be noted that the toilet is only open when the snack kiosk next door is also open (holidays and Saturdays) due to the fact this is a volunteer organisation and cannot be manned every day.

Scarista Beach

Reviewed By trippingovertheglobe - London, United Kingdom

This was such an amazing beach, stunning views all around, soft white sands, and hardly anybody around. We had earlier visited Luskentyre beach, and found that to be far too busy and an unpleasant experience due to the hoards of people and human excrement everywhere. You can park just on the road side here, just before you get to Northton, and walk through the field, and into the dunes where the wonders of this beach then reveal themselves. We spent a magical and solitary couple of hours here, just marvelling at the views and solitude. We will be back

Traigh Bhostadh (Bosta Beach)

Reviewed By nethycurl - Nethy Bridge, United Kingdom

There are many wonderful beaches in the Western Isles. The island of Lewis and Harris is home to many. Bosta beach is not nearly the largest, but is one of the loveliest, and has the added attractions of a Time and Tide Bell and the nearby attraction of a reconstructed Iron Age House.
