Houbie, Isle of Fetlar, Shetland Isles
★★
This beach has a muddier hue than some others in Shetland’s North Isles, but it enjoys a lovely setting – backed by the cliffs of Fitsyi Field and the fishing loch of Papil Water. East facing and enclosed by land on three sides, it’s sheltered from most wind directions.
