Visit this petite Outer Hebridean gem for peace and quiet, beaches, wildlife, and water sports.
The Outer Hebridean Isle of Berneray may be tiny, but it’s got plenty to appeal to outdoor-loving campers. The machair-fringed white sands and clear blue waters of the west coast’s beaches are some of the most pristine in Britain. On the east coast, conditions are great for wind- and kite-surfing, as well as trout fishing and spotting seals and otters in Bays Loch. While there are no organised campsites on the island, wild camping is always a possibility throughout Scotland—as long as you adhere to the Scottish Outdoor Access Code. Whether you’re staying the night or passing through along the long-distance Hebridean Way, you’ll find plenty to do.
