A trip to one of Scotland's most beautiful beaches, and unmissable if you are in the area. We booked in some windy afternoon sunshine following a morning around Oldshoremore (http://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=31616) and a quick lunch from the Spar in Kinlochbervie. The navigation's about as easy as it gets and to be honest this walk's much more about the destination than the journey... so the photos can do the talking.
