About

Image: https://www.instagram.com/whatshedrew/ Wild swimming in shawbost 

A horseshoe beach with safe calm water for swimming. There are two roads in to the beach with areas to park and a picnic table at the southern end where there is also a birdwatching interpretation board. There is an open loch behind the storm beach and this makes for a rich birdwatching site.
