White sands and turquoise water, this is an incredible beach. The water is always cold but it is a wonderful place to go swimming. There is a small shop and a fish and chip place in the campsite where you can fuel up for your ride or warm up after your swim, or both!

White sand on some of Europe's oldest rocks. Achmelvich stands out for its turquoise waters and its sand, largely formed from tiny shell fragments. The rocks surrounding the bay are Lewisian gneiss, around 3 billion years old. If you walk across the headland to the north, you will find smaller, much more hidden and tranquil coves.
