Luskentyre, Scotland

Luskentyre, Scotland

Luskentyre on Harris Island, the Outer Hebrides, is hell to get to but paradise on arrival, especially if the sun cares to show its face. You'll be one of the chosen few on this massive white beach with its crystal waters, odd scattered rocks and looming mountains, stunned by the monstrous, fantasy panorama.
With summer water temperatures of 12C this is not an ideal swimming beach but walkers, sailors, kayakers and fishermen love the place; bring your own gear or hire in Leverburgh in the south of Harris. Camping is permitted.
Get there via Skye island to Uig, then the car ferry to Tarbert on Harris.
