The beach was absolutely beautiful! I must have been lucky to visit on a day with good waves, but the sand, scenery, and water were fantastic.

Keep this place a secret, but it's truly fantastic. The views are breathtaking, the beach is incredible, and Brora is a really interesting place. Take your time to explore and appreciate the amazing sights along the NC500 route, rather than just rushing through.

One of the most stunning places on Earth, with miles of pristine sandy beaches and crystal clear water. Wildlife abounds, with seals frequently popping their heads out of the sea.
