It's absolutely no exaggeration to say that some of the most beautiful beaches in the world can be found on the Isles of Lewis & Harris.
From popular haunts like Luskentyre & Seilebost on Harris, to Uig Sands and Eoropie on Lewis, to tucked-away Bosta on Great Bernera, you'll never run out of pristine sandy stretches to explore, many of them backed by some of Scotland's most stunning mountain scenery. The east coast beaches on both islands are relatively sheltered from the prevailing winds and swell, so they tend to be more tranquil. The west coast of both islands is exposed to the full drama of the oncoming Atlantic, with all the impact you'd expect. Make sure you take time to explore both, and bring your camera!
