Brora Beach

About Brora Beach

Brora Beach is a double-sided beach on the Sutherland coast, with the "Front Beach" facing the sea and the "Back Shore" on the sheltered Brora River estuary side, separated by the dunes of Brora Links golf course. Both sections offer clean sand and good swimming in settled weather. Brora village has a fuel station, café and the fascinating Clynelish Distillery just 1 mile north.
