A small croft at the end of the B9087 — the most northerly public road in Britain — set above a curving sandy beach that is itself the most northerly beach. Two houses, a few sheep, and an extraordinary feeling of having arrived at the end of something. The road runs out at a sign; the beach is reached by a short walk down through marram grass.
The setting is the point. There are no facilities, nothing to buy, no museum. On a calm day the beach is one of the more photogenic in Shetland, with white sand and aquamarine water that you would not believe is this far north. Bring a packed lunch. Otters and seals are seen here regularly.
