The single-track road to this location is currently undergoing major improvements, which means there will be lengthy delays for all traffic. It is recommended that no-one use the road apart from those who need access to the harbour or for management of stock on the common grazing. Parking at any time in any of the passing places is illegal. Please do not park at any time in any of the laybys so that you do not impede the road improvement works.

Amazing spot where you can listen to the waves all night. Great little beach you can access from here easily. Little-to-no road noise, especially overnight. Good cellphone coverage. No toilets or rubbish bins nearby.

Une vue magnifique au milieu de la nature. Un parking plat. Très calme la nuit. Assez rapidement plein. Attention l'endroit est très peu abrité du vent. Nous avons du en partir au milieu de la nuit à cause de vents violents. Allez y en ayant vérifié s'il n'y a pas de météo tempétueuse !

beautiful place at the northern point of Skye. falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the sea is really good. parking area is large. along the road are st least 3 good sized locations for i think about 3 motorhomes each. good 4g connection.

We stayed here for one night, no issues with Road works I think these have now been completed. A 2 minute walk to see the dinasour prints, my partner went for a swim in the sea and as we sat having a bbq we spotted some seals! Brilliant place to stay, very peaceful and stunning views.

Arrived very late and night (after a late ferry from Harris). Seemed fine but had Gale force winds which led to a fairly sleepless night. Nice spot, just not when it’s windy.

Great nights stay in October 2021! Lots of other vans there too. There were some decent sized motor homes too so I think any size could get down. There’s a nice little beach when the tide is out that my dog loved!

Perfect nights stay. room for a good number of vans and it's so quiet at night except for the sound of the sea. no facilities. I went for a lovely dip in the water in the morning as well.

Great reasonably level spot with fantastic views and access to beach. 4g on EE fine…typing this from there now! Although access road is tight, there is plenty of rooms for large motor homes (ours is 7.5m plus bike rack). Highly recommend if not looking for any services.

Lovely stopover. Easily accessible and to find. We got eaten ALIVE by midges! We had all the gear but had to spend 2 hours inside the van.However, gorgeous breathtaking views, lovely little beach to explore and find dinosaur footprints. No services, few cars passing in the morning due to working harbour. We watched sunrise at630 before exploring the little beach and paddleboarding.Leave no trace.

Nice little spot. Busy during the day with cars. Anything over 7m is going to struggle here. The harbour is busy with fishermen parked and there is a definite strong smell of fishing harbour down there. This spot is much better.

A little more sheltered than the harbour car park at the end of the road, this is a very picturesque overnight stop. Plenty of space and facing east you get the sunrise! Go and find the dinosaur footprints on the beach! There is an hour long walk signposted just before the harbour car park as well. In the shade in the evening but the beach keeps the sun for much longer :-)

Great spot, amazing views. No signs saying no overnight parking. Quite a few other vans parked here and further down in main parking area so probably need to arrive early to get a space.

Camped by beach. Quite spot. Few tents. Beautiful stream going into river. Just round the corner from slipway.

Beautiful spot, right on the ocean. Few other campers, felt really safe. No wind when we stayed so lots of midges.

Accès pas difficile même avec notre camping-car, par contre nous avons eu une nuit remuante à cause du vent et d'une mer assez agitée, et très isolé en novembre. Sinon superbe endroit.

Endroit superbe, vue incroyable sur la mer. Pas mal de passage de van même à cette période mais lieu très calme donc pas gênant. Couverture réseau aléatoire. Encore une fois, merci de ramasser vos déchets il y en avait encore plein par terre...

Parfait, très calme avec une vie magnifique, quelques vans étaient déjà sur place à notre arrivée

En arrivant suivre Staffin Beach ans slipway, suivre le chemin jusqu'au parking. effectivement technique pour camping-car mais pas de souci pour un van. Belle vue sur la mer, pas un bruit

Merci pour le lieu. Très joli coin. Passage un peu technique pour y arriver mais ça passe avec un camping-car de moyenne taille.
