Achnahaird

Achnahaird - Dog Friendly Beach in Achiltibuie, Highland.

Achnahaird beach is in an isolated spot, on its own promontory below the main Assynt peninsula in Sutherland.

On approach, there is the feel of a North Cornwall beach, with two long headlands that shelter the long, deep expanse of sand.



On this occasion, the tide was out, emphasising the geographical feature.

Closer to the beach, evidence of erosion by the sea showed in the sculpted stones and rocks by the shore.

The atmosphere is wild and elemental, with Stac Pollaidh and its fellow hills to the north and dunes at the very back of the beach.
