In Scotland, miles of crashing coastlines frame the land and pristine, shell-strewn beaches are one of our favourite places to explore. It’s time to reach for the bucket and spade, and come and taste the salty air. Which beautiful beach will you choose?

In south west Scotland, head to Sandyhills Bay for a day of paddling in the clear, shallow waters. While you’re in this beautiful part of Dumfries & Galloway, take a trip to the charming harbour town of Kippford or explore the woodland trails in Dalbeattie Forest.

The Isle of Harris is famed for its white sandy beaches and azure waters, and the award-winning Seilebost Beach is one of the very best, situated beside a tiny crofting village and overlooking Luskentyre.

Lying at the most westerly point in Mainland Britain, Sanna Bay on the Ardnamurchan Peninsula offers superb views across to the nearby isles of Rum, Eigg, Muck and Canna. Keep an eye out for dolphins and whales in the water.

Add together a freshwater loch, a sandy beach and a surrounding pine forest and you get… Loch Morlich! Near Aviemore, the loch is a truly unique place to unwind and there are plenty of watersports to try out.

Go land-yachting and admire the setting for the opening scenes of Chariots of Fire at West Sands Beach in St Andrews.
