Balnakeil Bay Beach

Balnakeil Bay Beach is a large, white beach with wide dunes, located near Cape Wrath in the north of Scotland. To reach Balnakeil Bay, just take the minor road west out of Durness. This easy access by road makes it less overwhelming and imposing than Sandwood Bay south of Cape Wrath. The beach is pure and impressive, giving visitors endless chances to discover and explore. The sand dunes are one of the most evident characteristics of this stunning beach, giving shelter to a wide range of habitats. The sandy bay is crescent formed, allowing bathing to be unspoiled and calm. The beach is very popular for its amazing sunsets.
