Sango Sands, located in the north-west of Scotland, is a picturesque and tranquil beach offering stunning views of the North Minch.
Sango Sands is a small sandy cove characterised by scattered rocky outcrops, providing panoramic views of the North Minch. The beach is situated within easy walking distance of Sango village and is one of the most northerly beaches in mainland Scotland. The sandy beach is divided into three smaller coves by a series of rocky outcrops, with various rocks, stacks, and skerries scattered along the shore.
The back of the beach varies in geography, with steep dunes and machair making up large sections, and sheer cliffs of Creag Thairbhe to the east. The beach is close to Durness and is easily accessible, making it a comparatively popular destination for the area. However, due to its remote location, visitors can still expect a peaceful and uncrowded experience.
Many visitors to the beach come from the Sango Sands campsite, located directly above the beach. A short walk out to any of the nearby headlands will reveal breathtaking views of the North Minch, a busy shipping lane and a good spot for spotting dolphins and, if lucky, a whale. The nearby cove to the east of the beach is home to the famous Smoo Cave, the largest sea cave in Britain.
