Sandwood Bay
You have to walk 4 miles from Blairmore along a rough inland track with no sign of sand nor sea until you reach the top of the steepest ridge - then the mile long dune backed bay of pinkish sands opens up before you, flanked by cliffs at either end.
Huge Atlantic rollers crash onto the shore here making this a popular spot for surfing, though there is no lifeguard cover and swimming is not recommended due to a dangerously strong undertow.
The address given is for near the car park, but please be aware of the great distance between this and the beach and plan your journey independently.
