Achmelvich Bay

Magnifique et superbement partagée.
Bonne journée salutaire.

Hi Herb as you say breathtaking and perfect nice job. Thinking about doing the North Coast 500 so doing some research for next year.
All the best TOZ

Glad you enjoyed this my friend. This beach was only just bettered by the next one at Clachtoll, a bigger and more interesting beach but this was made by its pristine views with not a cottage etc in sight. Not that there was nothing just over the hill behind me.

The 500, is a very popular route and almost everywhere on it has now gone busier and more expensive. Both this and Clachtoll have bigish caravan sites almost on the beach but it runs along a road that would give many people nightmares if towing. A motorhome is then better. We followed the winding road past Clachtoll via Stoer and Drumbeg, car only, and I still wake up in a sweat! On our truer big 500 type of route that we took in 2014 we stayed at Durness and Dunnet head on the north coast returning down the East coast via Wick, Inverness and Aviemore. Hope this feeds your hunger.

Keep safe. Herb

Lovely soft colours Herb and a great view

thanks Nick. Just something about this beach that I kept coming back to.

A beautiful image of this unspoiled beach.

Hi George. I imagine that you have many beaches like this down your way.

Very meditative, this view !

yes - deep breath in - 1,2,3 - out...... relax........

Exactly my kind of beach too Herb..............you could easily be forgiven for assuming you'd taken this somewhere in the Caribbean..!!

I love it for all the reasons you've already mentioned in your description...........plus the lovely light and the nice wave action.

Good that you once again see in my photos what I see and feel Keith. We have two framed pictures in our bedroom -one a print the other a painting, both looking similar to this - paradise beach.

Some more nice beach photos to come. Keep safe. Herb

Beautiful view!

Beautiful seascape.

A beautiful picture Herb. I love the soft blues and the wave gently reaching the shore.
Regards, Rosa.
