Sutherland is a popular destination along the busy North Coast 500 route that is home to some incredible beaches and gorgeous scenery.
Stunning Sango Sands is an ideal stop-off for those driving along the iconic route, with many visitors coming from the campsite that sits directly above the beach . It is a small perfectly formed bay of soft golden sand, glistening with pink tinges, which comes from ancient Torridonian Sandstone. Beaches, caves and zip-lines SANGO Sands is just one of many highlights rhat the couple could experience whilst living in Sutherland.
The setting around the beach is incredible and offers panoramic views of the North Minch in Sutherland and it features well-known caves. The most famous of which is The Smoo Cave, which is the largest cave in Scotland. The cave, the next cove up from Sango, which you can walk to from the bay, has three main sections: a large sea cave entrance chamber, a hidden waterfall chamber and a freshwater passage which leads to the final chamber.
Its entrance is the largest sea cave entrance in Britain - 40m wide (131 feet) by and 15m high (49 feet) - and in the summer months you can have a tour of the cave and get a boat to the inner chamber. There are plenty of places around Sango Sands worth visiting including the mountain Foinaven and a small peninsula Faraid Head. Britain’s most northerly zipline, The Golden Eagle Zipline, is found east of Sango Sands Beach in Durness along the A838.
It shoots thrill-seekers across the stunning Ceannabeinne Beach, offering views of all of the outstanding Durness Beaches. The golden sands are divided into three smaller coves by a series of rocky outcrops, stacks and skerries and backed by the dramatic cliffs of Creag Thairbhe, making it one of the most spectacular beaches in the UK. The rocks have been sculpted over millions of years by the waves of gorgeous turquoise waters which hit the sandy shores.
There’s a good chance you could even have the beach to yourself and if you're lucky you can spot not just bottle-nosed dolphins but whales, seals and porpoise too. One Tripadviser user said: “The white sands are equal if not nicer to the Caribbean . If you get the weather there is nowhere better to be.
” Another raved: “You’d be forgiven for mistaking Sango Bay for somewhere totally tropical! The beaches are pristine. The crystal clear blue waters, the amazing rock outcrops and cliffs, and of course the Highland fresh air - no better place to escape.” Read more on the Scottish Sun HIDDEN GEM Inside church dubbed Scots 'Sistine Chapel' with stunning floor-to-ceiling art INVITATION ONLY Inside Scotland’s most exclusive golf club that costs over £100k to join One reviewer said: “The rocks poking through the sand remind me of the beaches in the Seychelles or the Caribbean.
