About Strathy

Strathy is a tiny coastal village in Sutherland, reached via the A99 which hugs Scotland's dramatic northern shore. Most visitors arrive from Thurso (30km west) or take the scenic A897 route north from Helmsdale through remote Highland terrain. The village has about 4 EV charging points, vital given the isolation. Strathy Bay boasts a stunning two-mile sandy beach that's often completely empty save for seals basking on the rocks.
