Lonely Planet Rating for West Beach, Berneray
05 March 2021 at 11:19:15
Lonely Planet has named the West Beach on the Isle of Berneray "divine" and rated it 3rd in a list of Europe's top 20 beaches, ahead of beaches in Greece, Cyprus, Portugal, Croatia, Montenegro, Sicily, and Corsica.
Lonely Planet stated: 'Out on a limb in the wild North Atlantic, the Outer Hebrides stash away some of Europe's remotest beaches. Singling one out is tough, but West Beach on the wee isle of Berneray is divine. Through dunes and wind-bent machair grasses, you reach this ravishing three-mile expanse of white sand, sliding gently into a turquoise sea. It's often empty but for seabirds trilling overhead and the occasional porpoise or otter.'
