Seal Colony on the Beach

Highlight • Beach

Do Not Enter! The area is for the animals! If you want to photograph the seals well, you need a zoom.

St Ninian's Beach

Highlight • Beach

A stunning 'tombolo' beach, (a natural sand causeway with sea on either side), once voted one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

Take the turn off to the beach at Bigton and scamper down to the pristine sands.

St Ninian's Isle Tombolo

Highlight • Viewpoint

Land bridge has been created naturally by the sea, with sand and shells washing up from both sides. One of the few natural land bridges in the world!
