description
A beautiful sandy beach on the east coast of Mainland Shetland approximately 9nm North of Sumburgh Head.
Good holding in sand, though some kelp can be found so ensure you are dug in especially in the western side of the bay.
A solitary buoy resides in the middle of the bay, it's purpose is unknown.
Our most recent visit saw an an arrival in a F6 Southerly wind with quite some swell until entering the bay itself which was without swell.
