Beach

Message from Tartan Viking

Breckon Sands is a stunning white sand beach located in the North of Yell, Shetland. It boasts the largest area of shell sand dune and dune grassland in Shetland, making it a picturesque spot for a relaxing day by the sea. With its sheltered cove and beautiful sunset views over the Atlantic Ocean, Breckon Sands is a must-visit destination for beach lovers looking to soak up some natural beauty in a rural farming region. Access to the beach can be a bit steep in places, but the walk is totally worth it for the serene vibes and traces of Viking and pre-Viking settlements waiting to be discovered.
