Scapa Beach and Royal Oak Memorial Garden

Highlight • Beach

Scapa Beach at the end of Scapa Bay is a wide sandy beach with views out to Scapa Flow. There is likely to be plenty of sea traffic to watch from oil tankers and fishing boats to windsurfers and dive boats.
Take some time to visit the memorial garden at the end of the beach where there is information about the harbours use in the World Wars.
