North Uist: Coastal Walk

North Uist: Coastal Walk

Taken on a lovely walk on North Uist in early June 2008. Looking from the sand dune path between beaches, over the bay and sound, northeastwards towards the islands and hills of Berneray and Harris.

There are many amazing beaches on North Uist so you are rather spoiled for choice. This area in the north west is one of my favourites, where you can walk for miles on gold beaches and over sandy dunes, enjoying varied and spectacular scenery along the way. Of course, you have to be lucky with the weather too:-)

I took this shot from the path between Traigh Iar and Traigh Ear (West and East Beaches) near Grenitote. Take the A865 road as far as Grenitote and turn off on to the beach road, past some houses and crofts to park at the small picnic area set above the beach.

Warning – be careful when the tide is out and the wide expanse of bay is empty. It is very tempting to walk across the wet sands, but remember that the tide comes in extremely quickly.

Location: Grenitote, North Uist, Outer Hebrides, Scotland, UK.
