10 – 25 KM
Grade B
Arguably some of the most spectacular beaches to be found on the Scottish mainland are found during this journey, landing on any one of them and taking in the scenery is a breathtaking experience. Allowing time to land on them all is highly recommended, and along with this the cliffs and impressive sea stacks associated with the narrow headland of Faraid Head make for a magical day out.
