Beach overdrive: a day in the life on Tiree!

Beach mania on the Isle of Tiree!

I didn’t know it was genuinely possible to have so many beautiful beaches in one place. On this island you are totally spoilt for choice, and with excellent conditions for both surfing and kite-surfing it really has it all.  We got out lots in the kayaks on this trip, paddling to hidden beaches, round headlands and enjoying picnics on the sand. You can’t get a much better day than that!

Happy Valley- this beach felt all the more special as we’d kayaked here off our own steam

The fantastic rockpools at Happy Valley which were deep enough to swim in!
