Absolutely stunning beach in a truly beautiful location. Loved the beach on the headland which was empty and no one had been there. Cracking views out to sea on what was a blustery day with gusts reaching 30mph and created a lovely sandstorm on the way back up the beach. Great views of the mountains beyond, Ben Hope & Ben Loyal. Can't wait to return in the winter for a really wild experience.

Absolutely gorgeous beach and views; worth the hassle of trying to find it. Go during low tide. Parking is tricky though. Go past Craggan House and look for the sign post (pictured). There’s a small strip you can park on across from the sign post. We went in the rain and it was still gorgeous. About a 10-15 min walk to the beach.

A brisk 15 minute walk from the main road but when the tide is out a huge white sandy beach with large sand dunes and unoccupied.
