  • A Hidden Beach on The Isle of Skye
    A final adventure on The Isle of Skye, and we all headed to the beach. Around three kilometers from the road end, we all trekked into this secluded and hidden beach (hidden from view - not a hidden secret ! The full car park indicated a busy place and a google search finds this beach !) . The beach hides itself until the very last turn in the path and what a gem! Turquoise waters and white sands made all the effort in reaching the beach worthwhile. A stunning location on a Scottish Island where beaches usually come second to the mountains...

    Happily, a 3km walk in either direction is enough to put off more than 99% of the beach-going public.
    It's true that since the road bridge was built Skye has become much busier and changed in character, but that's only the more visited and accessible parts. If you're prepared to explore on foot, the island is still every bit as wild, lonely and unspoilt as it ever was. Long may it stay the case.

    Just found these gems and am impressed with the quality of these vids. Have backpacked all my life in the northeast US and love to see others capture what I've known to be the amazing wilderness world - in other places. My wife and I managed to make it to Scotland awhile back and loved our experiences there. We could only fit in the southern Highlands that trip - but look forward to going back. Thanks to this, I know what to fit in when we visit Skye. Really appreciate your work - keep 'em coming.

    Looks even better than Coral Beach near Dunvegan. We drove to the fairy pools some years ago, only to turn back because of the ant trail of tourists. We were on our way to the outer Hebrides via Uig. This wee gem of a beach you found is up there with its Hebridean cousins. Naturally, when the rain isn’t horizontal and pea soup isn’t clouding your vision 🤩

      Thanks Bish - it was busy when we went down but I think the hike puts many people off going down - it was a toss up between the coral beach and this one, but this as closer so we headed down here - almost thought we had taken a wrong path as the beach only reveals itself at the very last moment!! well and truly hidden away from sight !:)

    Great video mate, I camped up in a forest area up there just before the beach. There a fantastic camping area with fire place wood and BQ i went there start the season and no one was there. I have in past had a look around away from the busy areas there some great finds. I am sure i wild camped that beach in the past. Thank you Richard

    Hi Murray. I've been visiting Skye for over 35 years and you are right in saying its is now getting busy. Passed the Fairy Pools on my way to Glen Brittle last August and it wasn't pleasent with litteraly a couple of miles of the single track road grid locked. Lots of "occasional tourists" following the hype, disrespecting the country code and parking illeagally. The beach looked great but as you mentioned. South west Harris is the palce go but dont tell anyone ;> cheers.

    • @ScotlandsMountains
      @ScotlandsMountains  4 роки тому

      Its on the hit list but will be a few years before I get up there I think! Suppose its good for tourism but I have never seen Skye so busy and this walk and beach was no different , met so many people - lots of good websites recommending this walk , and glad I did it but would like t return on a cold crisp winters day :)

    Last time in Scotland I only had 2 full days on Skye as I meandered my way back home but I made an effort in stupidly bad weather to at least visit the Fairy Pools. Seeing that ant trail you mentioned I should have just drove on but I thought I'd at least see it, the car park lassie then asked for a fiver to park another good but where some perfectly good trees had once stood, I responded "5 quid just to see the Fairy Pools..?" I guess she was out humour as she said plain faced, "no, that's to park". Needless to say I drove on instead, not through stingyness but I'm not paying money to become one of many sheep crammed into a wee set of pools, I'll wait for the off season instead and I'll use that forestry car park further up the hill instead too.

    • @ScotlandsMountains
      @ScotlandsMountains  4 роки тому

      I agree and would've done the same - unfortunately I had to go when the school were out on holiday so it was busy everywhere (even this beach was busy , met so many people on the walk in- its hidden down on the coast but is definitely not a secret!!), however still a beautiful place. Will be going back to walk and explore soon once the crowds dissipate a little :)
