Magnificent beach to West of Bettyhill with long sandy stretch. Super clean. Not so easy to access unless you know how!
Lovely beach best approached from the West end (Torrisdale). The beach offers excellent surfing when conditions are right as well as amazing walking, kiting, etc. Although Bettyhill is nearby, a river separates the beach from the village so you have to treck round.
After a storm, the waves are simply awe inspiring
