Mellon Udrigle Beach
Highlands
Mellon Udrigle Beach is a beautiful, very remote white sand beach on the Wester Ross coast near Gruinard Bay, backed by a small collection of cottages and looking west across Loch Broom toward the Outer Hebrides. The beach is outstanding for its combination of white sand, clear turquoise water and the dramatic backdrop of An Teallach and the Torridonian sandstone mountains. Very rarely visited outside summer and completely unspoiled.
No dog restrictions apply. Year-round access. Remote and wild.
