10. Bearreraig Bay
🌊 You’ll like this beach best if… you want a not-busy alternative to the very-busy Old Man of Storr.
One of the most little-known beaches on the Isle of Skye, I love Bearreraig Bay.
It’s in one of the most well-touristed parts of the island (close to Portree, the Old Man of Storr, Lealt Falls, and other famous places), but hardly anybody comes here.
That’s mainly because it sits at the bottom of a steep path, which heads sharply down to the bay. But tackle the walk (it’s not as bad as people say, let’s all stop being dramatic), and you’re rewarded with rocky cliffs, a stony peaceful bay, and (most famously) hidden fossils*.
*Fossil-finders come here to scour through the rocks and seek out some specimens. Join the party! (But don’t take them away).
Oh, this beach (at least for now), is incorrectly marked on Google Maps as ‘Bearreaig Bay.’ So, yes, it’s the same place.
