The whole area around the extensive Uig Sands is a must visit on any trip to Lewis.An hour or so from Stornoway but definitely Lewis's most beautiful area (along with Mangersta and Reef.) In fact this must be one of the most impressive areas in the whole of the Outer Isles. We were lucky in that the sun shone and we walked from the car park, for 20 mins to a particularly deserted part of the Uig sands (you could walk for miles all round the little bays and headlands) and had a picnic. Paradise. Beautiful pink/orange rock of the type I've seen on Iona were a gorgeous backdrop to the turquoise seas and white sands. There is a free (donation) area behind the main part of the beach, set back from the dunes, where wild camping is allowed supported by public toilets/showers. A replica large Lewis Chessman is passed while heading to the parking. Luskentyre is still to me the most beautiful area of all (and in any weather given the colours and rock/moorland there) but Uig is stunning also.
8. Eoropie Dunes Park

Reviewed By colinmV761IH - Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
There are quite a few mentions in the reviews here that toilets were not installed during the time of folks' visits. I can now confirm there's a brand new facility with disabled access and baby changing. All that's asked for is a 30p contribution. It's to be noted that the toilet is only open when the snack kiosk next door is also open (holidays and Saturdays) due to the fact this is a volunteer organisation and cannot be manned every day.
9. Traigh Lingeigh Beach

Reviewed By Scotlandmac - Glasgow, United Kingdom
This sweep of beach rivals the best of Harris's creamy sands.On North Uist, the endless stretches are silvery white, dazzling on a sunny day.When the machair is out - the wild flower carpeted grass lands behind the beach - it is truly a photographer's paradise.The scent of the flowers is the scent of summer in the Hebrides. The Uists and Tiree form Scotland's finest Machair Islands, neighbouring Harris which I love too, has only small areas of machair in comparison. And bang next door to Lingeigh, a short walk over the dunes, lies equally stunning Hornish beach. The colour of the water is ever-changing, emerald, turquoise, opalescent....sunsets from here over Harris are gorgeous. The track down to the beach has got worse over the years and needs care if you are not to punch a hole in the sump though high clearance vehicles will be fine.

There are many wonderful beaches in the Western Isles. The island of Lewis and Harris is home to many. Bosta beach is not nearly the largest, but is one of the loveliest, and has the added attractions of a Time and Tide Bell and the nearby attraction of a reconstructed Iron Age House.
