Kearvaig Beach Cape Wrath Sutherland Scotland

Kearvaig Beach, Cape Wrath, Sutherland, Scotland.

One of the most idyllic places in the whole of Scotland, Kearvaig Beach and Bay near Cape Wrath. The magnificent beach is likely to be empty in spite of the wonderful location. The Bothy provides basic accommodation and there are many good camping sites.

Normally, Kearvaig is reached from the Ferry over the Kyle of Durness followed by a minibus ride in the direction of Cape Wrath. Once there, you are spoilt for choice - walking the lovely beach, exploring the soaring cliffs and rocky coastline including 'The Cathedral' of Stac Clo, climbing the nearby hills including Sgribhis Bheinn.

On our two night stay in June 2009, the weather was kind and allowed some great walking over to another iconic Scottish Beach, Sandwood Bay.

A truly wonderful place!

  3. By far the most popular choice with GO Outdoors customers. This type of camping includes any camper that has paid for a pitch on a campsite for a period of time, ranging from groups of friends, to couples, through to large families. best carry bag
