Natural Feature

Luskentyre Beach looks like a South Pacific paradise (albeit with some fairly chilly temperatures), with its pearly-white sands and placid, cerulean-blue waters that meet crisp, cloudless skies. Luskentyre in fact lines the western coast of the Isle of Harris – just off the north-western tip of Scotland – and it’s blissfully secluded and peaceful, with panoramic views of the ocean that make it seem as if it clings to the edge of the world.
