WHAT AN ADVENTURE THIS WAS – I FOUND ‘THE BEACH’ – SCOTLAND STYLE!

I’ll keep this post brief, as I made a promise to a local guy I came across on one of these remote beaches who asked “please don’t share this location on facebook!” So I won’t – some places deserve to be kept quiet & peaceful.

All I will say is google maps is a very useful tool. I knew that the Scottish Inner & Outer Hebrides have some amazing white sands and turquoise beaches, and if you time a visit to these places right with the weather – they are up there with any beach in the world! So I done my research on google maps, picked off some quieter parts of some islands where the sand looked white, and the sea turquoise – and planned an adventure to see what I could discover.  An adventure is very important in this day and age when everywhere is almost too accessible which spoils the fun of exploring and coming across genuine “hidden gems” – when you come across something you had no idea about – the feeling is pretty special. I hope these photos of remore Scottish beaches inspire you to plan an adventure of your own!

I hope you've found this info useful and it helps to plan your own adventures! I share my stuff simply to help others enjoy the great outdoors and reap the many physical & mental health benefits of being in nature.

I send an e-newsletter every few months about my latest walks, adventures, photos & exclusive stuff that isn't on the blog if you are interested. Subscribe below:

Not all my stuff goes on this blog - follow me to see what else I've been up to:

More people enjoying the outdoors is great - but a small minority are leaving rubbish behind. No one gets paid to clean up natural beauty spots, so please take all your litter home (and don’t scorch the earth with fires & BBQs which takes years to recover). You'll be an absolute outdoors legend if you pick up & dispose of any rubbish you do see from others. Finally, when sharing your adventures online, please encourage responsible & sustainable enjoyment of the outdoors too. We're all influencers to some extent!

COMMENTS SECTION

I’m always interested to know if people find my stuff useful to plan a walk, or if you have any further tips to help others (some of these write uyps are old now) – so any feedback is welcome, just leave a commnet below and I’ll get back to you…

    Looks amazing and good on you for not sharing the exact location – a lot of these picture perfect places are becoming over run these days
