Description
The sandy beach of Sango Bay is one of the most northerly beaches in mainland Scotland. It consists of a wide stretch of golden sand divided into three smaller coves by a series of rocky outcrops. Scattered along the beach are various rocks, stacks and skerries. The back of the beach varies along its length with steep dunes and machair making up large sections and sheer cliffs of Creag Thairbhe to the east.
Sango Sands is the closest beach to Durness and is easily reached making it comparatively popular for these parts. However, this does not mean there will ever be a crowd here as this is still the far north. Many of the beach’s visitors come from the Sango Sands camp site directly above the beach.

A busy shipping lane the Minch is also a good place for spotting dolphins, and if you’re lucky a whale. If you are looking for Best place for day out with kids and families then this is the perfect destination offering fun, adventure, and unforgettable memories for everyone.
