- HighlandLass24Baltimore, MD178 contributionsBeautiful scenery with turquoise water, white sands and mountains and rock formations. Definitely a must see.Written 15 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- HighlandLass24Baltimore, MD178 contributionsStunning scenery of rocky cliffs, amazing turquoise water, white sands and sea stacks. All of my favorites in one place. Breathtakingly beautiful for anyone that likes rocky/cliff scenery. Climb around for different viewpoints. We climbed up the left side coming in. It was a hike, but well worth the view. There is a huge lily pond adjacent, but it wasn't blooming when we went. Time it right and you'll see both.Written 16 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Hercules RUllapool, UK327 contributionsThere is plenty of parking. There is a reasonably short walk down to the beach. It is dog friendly. There is white sand and turquoise seas. The views are amazing, a photographer’s paradise. There was some mist on one day we visited and it was ethereal. There is a peaceful cemetery nearby, what a wonderful site.Written 28 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Anuj_MithaniMumbai, India3 924 contributionsA wild and rocky gem ! Not frequented by tourists, we were the only ones there. Dont forget to drive a little further to the view point for the majestic cliffs and sea stacks.Written 19 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CeiniogPembrokeshire, UK2 007 contributionsSuperb unspoilt beach on the west coast of Lewis, well worth a visit. Also, don't miss the nearby Dalbeg beach.Written 19 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- DonkScotlandScotland193 contributionsLoved this place. Ideal for the extended family - grandparents, parents and two small children. Spent lots of time and had lots of fun in the very well set up play park and then enjoyed one of the shorter walks. Boardwalk meant the 3 year old could run back and forth with less risk of tripping or turning her foot on rough ground, the baby could enjoy it all from her buggy and everyone was very happy. So happy we went twice!
Lots of hairy oobits about (woolly caterpillars), plenty small birds bobbing around in the trees and bushes, and an obliging eagle or two!Written 29 June 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I'm a first time kayaker who went with husband (he's much more experienced). Was gentle but still some waves. Car park small only about 10 cars can park. Toilets there drinking water available from hose and able to wash off sand from wet suits. Next the caravan park so lots of families but was nothing like crowded beaches on mainland - here if there's more than 10 people the locals call it 'packed'. Rubbish bins which is great too. If had been a warm day a definite for spending day with a book, kayak, swimming and picnicWritten 11 July 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sarah0811england188 contributionsLovely stretch of beach that is peaceful and minimal population. A lovely find on exploring lewis. Worth a visitWritten 25 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- CeiniogPembrokeshire, UK2 007 contributionsThis is the last beach (almost at road end) on the road north along the east coast of Lewis, is one of the last we visited on our Outer Hebrides holiday, and is one of our favourites. Probably (hopefully!) too far out on a limb for tourist buses, you may well have it to yourselves, as we did. The highlight is the group of sea stacks at the southern end. Parking is good - and don't miss the short walk further along the road to the "Bridge to Nowhere" (and the actual road end!)Written 19 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
