With some great road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy everything that Gairloch, 35 miles away, has to offer. Redpoint Beach, Big Sand Beach and Gairloch Beach alone make the drive out worthwhile. Don’t skip Isle of North Uist either! Just 35 miles away, Taigh Chearsabhagh, Tràigh Bhàlaigh and Balranald RSPB Reserve are non-negotiable stops here.
