Sandwood Bay Beach, located in Sutherland, Scotland, is a hidden gem known for its remote 1-mile-long beach and stunning sea stack called Am Buachaille. Accessible only by a 4-mile path from Blairmore, this pristine beach is part of the Sandwood Estate managed by the John Muir Trust. With no road access, it offers a secluded and unspoiled retreat for nature lovers seeking a peaceful escape. Legends of mermaids and ghostly sailors add to the mystical allure of this picturesque spot on the far north-west coast of mainland Scotland.
