Best Beaches

The Shetland Islands host a variety of unique coastal formations, including St Ninian’s Isle, the largest active sand tombolo in the UK. These sites range from the urban sands of Bain's Beach in Lerwick to the remote white sands of Meal Beach and Banna Minn in West Burra. The Pool of Virkie offers a specialized tidal lagoon environment for birdwatching, while the Ayre of Hamnavoe showcases the traditional shingle and sand barriers characteristic of the archipelago's geomorphology.
