Beach on West Burra, Shetland Isles
★★★
Minn Beach is a crescent-shaped, sandy bay on the north side of the finger of land connecting Kettla Ness to the rest of West Burra island. Surrounded by grazing land, skerries and turquoise ocean, it makes a quieter beach trip alternative to the larger, better-known St Ninian’s Isle tombolo further down Shetland Mainland.
