Sango Sands, Durness, the very top of Scotland - big, great views, park where you like, good facilities, a pub next to it, a breakfast bar in the morning. £19 no EHU.

My favourite is Clachtoll Beach Campsite (which isn't too far from Sango Sands).
Direct access to this beach, lots to do and explore in the area and not too far from The Larder in Lochinver

I like the look of that - perhaps a visit, very soon. Well not too soon, it is booked up until September.
 
When you say the van is in the background, is it camouflaged or across the water.
From that angle it looks like its across the water, its actually 45min walk round the bay. Just at the back of the sand.

Theres a theme cropping up here, Scotland & sandy deserted beaches....
Definitely agree.
:) we took a real liking to Scotland since our daughter moved there ,,and a bonus is the drive from were we live is much more scenic than the one to Cornwall..
Still love Cornwall but Scotland’s took 1st place without doubt

I've gone off Cornwall, Pembrokeshire seems to have all the plusses of Cornwall without the crowds.
Whilst I love Scotland, the Clachtoll Beach Campsite is about the same driving time for us as the Costa Brava & I know which has the warmer sea.

how do you find the midges .. I can’t stand them, always avoid going in case they are around

No problem
We tend to stay right on the coast ,
Not sure if that helps.
Also don’t wear bright green for some reason?
They like that colour:)
 
It was a lime green tent they seemed to like on the campsite and lime green towel hung up so you’re probably going to be fine ,:)

Just stick your arm out of the van and they'll find you.


We have been in September, October and May - no midges.

Have a look at this website:

 
Fantastic thanks for the review - we are going there at the end of September so hoping for decent weather!
If you want EHu you have to book in advance or take pot luck on arrival. Although tempted to park on the cliff edge we moved back. We have been there three times and20210519_150529.jpg had to drop the roof twice - storms.

And there many more such beaches on the Inner and Outer Hebrides. Uig Sands, in particular.
