Luskentyre Beach

About

Luskentyre Beach, located on the Isle of Harris in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland, is renowned for its stunning natural beauty. The beach features over a mile of pristine white sand, backed by grassy dunes and set against the dramatic backdrop of the North Harris hills. The water changes from turquoise to azure depending on the weather and time of day, creating a breathtaking scene. At low tide, the beach expands significantly, allowing visitors to walk to nearby Seilebost Beach. The beach offers a serene and picturesque environment, with views of the island of Taransay, famous for the BBC's Castaway program. Wildlife enthusiasts can spot various sea birds and marine life, including porpoises. The area is ideal for activities like walking, swimming, and photography. Visitors can access the beach via a single-track road from the A859, with a small car park available. The nearby Luskentyre Cake Shed provides a delightful stop for refreshments.
