Things to do on site and in the Isle Of North Uist area
Set in a bay, this site has plenty of things to do on its doorstep. The beautiful sandy beach only 40 metres from the entrance is great for walking, paddling, swimming, kayaking and kite surfing. You can take advantage of the great fresh water and sea fishing with local companies and clubs to guide you.
Running alongside the site is the Balranald Nature Reserve where you can see local wildlife. May is the best month for seeing corncrakes but bird lovers can also see lots of wading birds such as the oystercatcher, lapwing, redshank and dunlin. If you cast your eye to the water you may spot seals and even Porpoises out in the bay.
If you fancy a taste of the island, why not visit the award winning North Uist Distillery (35 minutes). Book a tour and tasting of the distillery or even a cocktail masterclass and see why Scotland makes some of the best drinks around.
