Sheigra Beach
Highlands
Sheigra Beach is a beautiful sandy beach at the end of a short road near Kinlochbervie in north-west Sutherland, slightly north of Oldshoremore. The beach is sheltered and beautiful, with the typical white sand and turquoise water of the north-west Highland coast. Like Oldshoremore, it is very rarely visited and has a genuine sense of remoteness at the edge of the world.
No dog restrictions apply. Year-round access.
