Camas a' Charraig and Gruinard Bay, Wester Ross
From the village of Laide on the north west coast of Wester Ross in the Scottish Highlands, a single track road heads north from the A832 along the western shore of Gruinard Bay towards Mellon Udrigle. Mellon Udrigle is a small and remote crofting, fishing and tourist settlement.
Backed by dunes and framed by rocky promontories, this is one of the most attractive pieces of coastline in Wester Ross. With clear turquoise water and clean white sand, Camas a’ Charraig is spectacular in itself even without its stunning location. What makes the beach really special is the distant mountain vista across Gruinard Bay. To the north east the views include the distinctive profile of Suilven near Lochinver, and the mountains of Coigach, including the top of Stac Pollaidh, whilst to the south east the views conclude with a glimpse of An Teallach.
