Where? Isle of Barra

The island of Barra is the most southerly of the inhabited Outer Hebridean islands and boasts the only beach runway in the world to handle scheduled airline services. Traigh Mòr beach has been home to Barra airport for 80 years and has been voted as the world’s most spectacular landing strip. The beach stretches between the villages of Ardhmhor and Eoligarry on the northern tip of the island. In between high tides and aircraft landings, the beach is open to the public. It is very popular with cockle collectors, photographers, walkers and those that want to just gather to watch the out-flight entertainment! An absolutely stunning beach.
