Borve, Isle of Berneray
★★★★
This vast beach runs the entire length of Berneray in the Outer Hebrides. The extremities are over three miles apart: the southwest tip at Rubha Bhoisnis has views towards Boreray, while the northern point is overlooked by the islands main summit of Beinn Schlèibhe. Nowhere is the beach less than a mile from the nearest road, guaranteeing crowd-free sand and seascapes. Make a special trip, or visit as part of the waymarked walk around the northern two thirds of the island.
