14 incredible beaches to visit in Scotland (and where to stay) this summer
The isle of Tiree is an outstanding destination for those seeking sandy shores, with 15 beaches to choose from and the Gulf Stream bringing a warm climate to the area. The most westerly island of the Inner Hebrides, it’s also well known for its traditional thatched houses, that use muran (grass) which grows on the sand dunes.
Fans of water sports will love the wind here too – Tiree offers the perfect environment for surfers in particular. Visit Blackhouse Watersports on Balevullin Beach to try out a spot of surfing for yourself, whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro.
Where to stay: Tiree Lodge Hotel is a family run hotel with beautiful beach and sea views, located in Gott Bay. It also has a pub-style bar, and a separate bar and restaurant with fantastic vistas out across the bay.
If you’re after a sustainable stay, be sure to check out The Reef Inn. It’s a proudly eco-friendly hotel with a highly insulated, energy efficient build, including air source heat for the under-floor heating.
Alternatively, join Country Living to see the Hebrides’ unspoilt coastlines during an eleven-day island hopping adventure.
