About Sheigra

Sheigra perches at Scotland's northwestern tip, a tiny coastal settlement that serves as the jumping-off point for Sandwood Bay's famous beach. Drive the A838 to Rhiconich, then take the single-track B801 north for 15 kilometres through increasingly wild Highland terrain. The three-hour journey from Inverness rewards visitors with one of Britain's most remote and unspoiled stretches of coastline, where a mile-long golden beach remains virtually deserted year-round.
