Strathy Bay Beach

Strathy Bay Beach is a beautiful, backed and enclosed beach in Highland, Scotland. The bay is on a minor road sign posted to Strathy East, a couple of miles from Melvich. It presents a couple of caves and rocky stacks. It is also bordered by cliffs on one side and the River Strathy on the other. It is spectacular especially in May and June when cowslips, northen marsh orchids and the spring squills flower in short turf just behind the beach and on the cliff tops. It is a good spot for surfing, especilly for beginners.
