Luskentyre is one of the most photographed beaches in the Hebrides, backed by dunes and a tidal estuary. The tide goes out a long way, so there is endless sand to walk. The water is cold, but it looks like the Caribbean on a sunny day.

Good to know

  • Wild and exposed, windbreaks help
  • Park at the end of the road, do not block the township
