We travelled to Bostadh to see the Iron Age House, so this superb beach was a bonus. Well worth the drive to get to it at the northern tip of Great Bernera.

My husband surprised me with a trip to Bernera and managed to find this stunning secluded beach with white sands and turquoise sea. on our own at the edge of the world and it was wonderful. The hairy coos in the car park were a bonus.

Another beach of absolute wonder
An essential to life itself
Stunning and beautiful
Broad expanses of sand and if the tide is out a long walk to the sea.

This is such a gorgeous place, I actually preferred this to luskertyre beach. The sand was so soft and the water was so clear and it was in a sheltered little bay.
There is toilets available and free parking but by midday the carpark was overflowing, so best to get here early or later in the day.
I definitely would return here again!

It is a beautiful little beach. Parking available. Must visit if you are in Lewis. Blue water and quiet little place to swim or just relax.
We also saw the Iron Age house. It’s closed but worth a visit.

Before going, i had seen some pictures but in real life this beach is even more stunning. There were a few people in the water, sunbathing, enjoying themselves and it was a very nice relaxing atmosphere. Hard to believe this is Scotland as well. I could have easily spend all day here and did not even bother looking for the iron age house as I did not want to leave the beach. Before you get to the beach there is a Commonwealth cemetery as well. Free but limited parking and public toilets.

Absolutely stunning beach with beautiful white sand in a beautiful bay so quite protected. The water is light blue and the whole area is stunning - a must visit if you’re on Great Bernera

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.

I was privileged to see this beach in all it's glory in April this year. Nobody was on it just me and my 2 dear friends. Big rocks, pools caves and grassy banks to sit on. Totally unspoilt and a must-see if you like peace and quiet and solitude. Love it.

We were there this week and saw an unusual looking green metal looking containeron a stand erected n the sea. Can anyone tell us what this is? Thanks

It's the Time and Tide Bell: a permanent art installation in a handful of locations across the UK. The idea is that the bells chime at high tide and draw attention to climate change.

Is their anywhere to camp ? We love camping and would love to explore Scotland and camp

In Scotland you can camp anywhere as long as there is no sign to say you require a permit. Wild camping is permitted with the understanding that you respect the environment and don't camp in a way that causes obstruction or intrusion to others including residents. There is an area above the beach and another behind the beach that would probably be suitable for a tent.
