Possibly the most stunning beach in the world. Also great for wildlife including curlew, stonechats, wheatears and even some highland cows at the beach. A visit to Donald Johns weaving shack on the road to Luskentyre is recommended.

Many places around the world claim to have the best beaches. I nominate Luskentyre on the island of Harris, sure its well off the beaten track and facilities are few and far between. But with a little thought and a picnic hamper you will experience the great outdoors and nowhere is more breathtaking than Luskentyre its just magical. When we... More

We were married on Luskentyre beach this year - an incredibly beautiful place and that's saying something given the stunning scenery throughout most of Harris and the Western Isles. I really think Harris is the most immediately spectacular of the Outer Hebrides - just driving the 'main' road allows views of some of the most beautiful.mostly unspoilt coastline and pristine...

Just back from a wonderful holiday in Luskentyre. A truly stunning place. Had lots of walks on the beach. Met Donald John Mackay the Harris Tweed weaver. Very interesting gentleman. Will definately be back on Harris .

We had an hour here as part of our single day on Harris/Lewis. Wish it were longer. Pristine white beach, all the blues you could imagine in the sea, no footprints in the softest sand, we had dogs not kids but if you have children take them to this beach. Difficult to think of a better one. Worth the trip... More
