Oldshoremore Beach

Stretching for nearly two miles along the northwest coast, Oldshoremore Beach offers one of the most dramatic coastal experiences in Scotland, with its vast expanse of golden sand framed by the imposing peaks of Arkle and Foinaven. This remote beach, accessible via a scenic single-track road, provides an authentic Highland wilderness experience where seals bask on offshore rocks and seabirds wheel overhead. The beach faces directly into the Atlantic and can create decent wave action that draws surfers and bodyboarders, on calmer days it transforms into a tranquil haven for paddleboarders. With limited facilities but unlimited natural beauty, Oldshoremore rewards visitors with solitude and some of the most breathtaking sunsets in the Highlands, particularly magical when the mountains are reflected in the wet sand at low tide.
