When you think about Scotland, you probably don't care about white sandy beaches. However, there is one beach on a very luxurious island island, which is compared to the paradise of Australia and the Caribbean.
Laskendy Beach, located on the Isle of Harris, is famous for its sparkling clear turquoise waters that give the beach a tropical look despite being in Scotland.
There is also untouched white sand that creates an impressive contrast to the water.
This gorgeous coastline is compared to the world-famous Whitsundays of the Caribbean, Maldives and Australia.
There are several hiking and cycling trails that surround the area for a more active mind, perfect for peaceful nuisances
Krisham Mountain offers the thrill of getting its peak peak on the outer Hebrides. There you will get a drastic view of the stunning views of the island.
Despite its fame, this beach is almost always empty. You can walk miles and rarely see another soul.
Visitors to the beach are surprised by the beauty of one man who writes on TripAdvisor.
“When I first saw it, my breath was literally taken away. It has beautiful sand and never crowded. The ocean is clear and there is a view of tarantai.”
Another asked himself: “Am I in the Caribbean?
“What an incredibly gorgeous beach. The sand is in its purest form and the water is as blue as possible. The fact that when we made such a dramatic view, there weren't many people out there.
“We walked and admired how beautiful and beautiful the beach was.”
To reach this slice of heaven, you can take a ferry from mainland Scotland. Alternatively, you can fly from Glasgow, Edinburgh or Inverness to the outer Hebrides.
