Durness is full of beaches. Balnakeil Beach is lovely. Follow it up to Faraid Head to view puffins if the time of the year is right.

Balnakeil Beach is one of many beaches in Durness. Follow this one North if you want a walk to get to Faraid Head to see Puffins (if the time is right) and to view the Faraid Head Stacks.

Balnakeil Beach

G.
I very much enjoyed looking out this bay with Binoculars to spot birds n marineactiviry. Gorgeous beach setting with rolling greenery surrounding it
Absolutely amazing beach. White sand, crystal clear water. Great walks around surrounding dunes.
Nice pleasant beach with good doggy paddling capabilities. Worth the stop, photos taken from nearby car park.
Lovely quiet beach with long stretch of clean sand. Gently sloping and clear water for a good paddle. Fresh water streams coming in at far end for doggy drinks (or human if you have a filter)
This is one of my favourite beaches, it's a beautiful walk. You can usually find the cows lying on the beach at the half way mark. 100% worth a visit.

I like writing, WordPress, photography and, when I'm not doing those things, cycling, looking at birds, camping, and reading.
