The Singing Sands on a Sunny Day, Isle of Islay

Picture of a sandy beach on a sunny dayOne of Islay’s slightly lesser known (as it is not visible from a public road) yet very popular beaches. These are the singing Sands near Kilnaughton, reached via a short track past the Port Ellen lighthouse. Ireland is just visible in the distance.
