Let´s start the year with a walk on an empty beach in the Isle of Lewis. Traigh Shanndaigh (Eoropie Beach) is huge and usually pretty loved by families and surfers. There is also a big playground right next to the beach. But for some reason this evening, I had the beach all for myself.
No complaints here!
I was staying in Shawbost again that year, just on the other side of the beach from last year. And experienced some really lovely sunsets.
View from the garden.
This is probably one of my favourite spots in the Isle of Lewis – this little secluded beach close to the Butt of Lewis. I discovered this one the year before while on the way to the lighthouse and had to come back this time again.
The cove is home to lots of birds and is always pretty windy.
During the construction of the lighthouse, the beach was used to transport all the material to the building site.
Continue to the lighthouse up the road and take a little walk around the clifftops.
Again, so many birds.
I visited one of the smaller beaches in the Isle of Lewis, but still a very beautiful one – Dalbeg Beach.
Right behind the beach is a pond with waterlilies and a stunning meadow, the Machair. There are also the remains of a blackhouse with beautiful views.
