Sango Bay, near Durness, presents one of Scotland's most visually striking beach experiences, where brilliant white sand contrasts dramatically with dark limestone cliffs and electric blue waters. This horseshoe-shaped bay, carved from ancient rock formations, offers multiple beach areas connected by rocky headlands, creating intimate coves perfect for exploration and discovery. The beach's unique geology creates fascinating rock pools and sea caves, while the surrounding cliffs provide nesting sites for numerous seabirds, making it a paradise for wildlife watchers. Despite its remote location, Sango Bay offers good facilities including the nearby Sango Sands Oasis restaurant and accommodation, making it an accessible base for exploring the area's other natural wonders including the famous Smoo Cave, just a short walk away.
