About 15 miles from Durness is Sandwood Bay. Probably the most beautifull unspoilt beach in Britian backed by large sand dunes. Also a gorgeous inland loch is only seperated from the sea by a small strip of beach. It is however a 4 mile walk from the nearest village Blairmore. Although this walk makes the view when you get there even more satisfying. Make sure you allow 1 hour to walk back before the sun goes down though or you might end up have to stay the night.
