St Ninian's Beach is a beautiful and secluded beach located on the west coast of Mainland Shetland, Scotland. It is known for its white sand, crystal-clear water, and stunning views of St Ninian's Isle, a small island that is connected to the mainland by a tombolo, a natural causeway of sand and gravel. 

 

How to get there:

St Ninian's Beach is located approximately 17 miles south west of Lerwick. The drive takes approximately 30 minutes.

 

Best time:

St Ninian's Beach is a particularly beautiful place to visit during sunset. The golden light of the setting sun reflects off the white sand and clear water, creating a truly magical scene.

 

Parking: 

There is a small car park located next to St Ninian's Beach. The walk from the car park to the beach takes approximately 2 minutes.

 

What to shoot:

To get an overview of the beach and the causeway, try to get an elevated POV by climbing the dunes.
