Sands of Evie Beach

Highlight • Beach

Beautiful and wild sandy beach in the crook of the Aiker Ness headland. Perfect spot for a rest and maybe some lunch.
If you can ride to the end of the road
the Broch of Gurness is a well preserved Iron Age settlement slightly east of here, also worth a look.
