Stunning hidden beach with azure waves, incredibly rare eagle, and otters
Idyllic hidden beach in the UK is an oasis of calm with golden sand and turquoise sea 'like the Caribbean' - one visitor felt like they'd 'died and gone to heaven' after finding the bay A lesser-known beach gem in the UK with sparkling turquoise sea and white sandy beaches is a haven for nature lovers. The stunning scenery and views have been likened to the Caribbean by some, while another visitor said they thought they'd "died and gone to heaven" after visiting the beauty spot. Beautiful rare eagles circle the spot and otters duck and dive in the sea - you may spot them if you're lucky. The large bay is a fantastic family day out, a romantic spot for couples, or a chilled place for solo visitors - Sanna Bay in Scotland has been praised time and time again for its amazing scenery. The beach can be reached by a delightful coastal walk, however it is also accessible by car - and a short walk over dunes down to the sand and sea. A rocky headland, sand dunes and cliffs surround four sandy beaches in this most western point of mainland Britain, described as a "Scottish oasis". Located on the Ardnamurchan peninsula in the Scottish Highlands, this is a great place for observing wildlife, reports Wild About Lochaber. There are also holiday cottages, camping options and places to stay in the nearby area for an unforgettable away-from-home experience. The Wild About Lochaber website describes Sanna Bay as "one of the most stunning beaches on the Ardnamurchan peninsula". The dune cliffs "reach up to 3m in height" and there is a unique sand isthmus - a narrow piece of land - "connected to a low rocky platform". Wild About Lochaber detailed the uniqueness of this beauty spot: 'Sanna Bay is renowned for its stunning scenery, white sandy beaches and clear turquoise seas. The bay also offers some fabulous views of Ardnamurchan Point and The Small Isles. "In spring and summer, the dunes are a riot of colour. This is a great place for wildlife watching. Look out for butterflies nectaring on the machair flora, dragonflies and damselflies scouting the wee burn, sand martens nesting in the dune cliffs, coastal birds and otters foraging along the shoreline. 'You can also scan the coastal cliffs for a good chance of seeing white-tailed eagle. There are also some lovely rock pools waiting to be explored by the young and older alike.' They added the stunning beach"is popular with botanists, wildlife watchers, walkers, geologists, artists, and photographers", describing it as a "great place to explore and enjoy". One TripAdvisor reviewer wrote that "Sanna Beach is akin to the Caribbean in Scotland". A review of Sanna Beach by JJC said: 'The walk was about five minutes over the sand dunes to the beach. Once wow wow. The water was turquoise, the sand pure white. 'If the temperature was higher it could have been the Caribbean. Behind us were about 10 wild swimmers who jumped into the water. I can highly recommend Sanna Beach.' Another claimed they thought they'd "died and gone to heaven" after a visit to the spot. In a TripAdvisor review the visitor wrote: 'No pubs, cafes or shops but who cares, this is one of the most stunning white sand beaches in Scotland. 'With the beautiful blue and turquoise sea you could be in the Bahamas . A great place for a walk, take photos or just sit and enjoy the view.'
