About Sand, Highland

Sand lies on the remote northwest Highland coast along Gruinard Bay, offering dramatic Atlantic views toward the Summer Isles. The A832 provides the main access route from Inverness via Garve and Kinlochewe, a scenic two-hour drive through mountain and loch country. Local roads connect nearby settlements like Laide and Aultbea, though they're narrow single-track requiring careful driving. The village's most remarkable feature is its distinctive pink coral beach, where crushed shells create an unusual rosy shoreline.
