With some terrific road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to soak up all that Portree, 25 miles away, has to offer. Among your first stops here should be Old Man of Storr, Skye Riding Centre and Kilt Rock. Locals will also probably point you in the direction of Gairloch, 35 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, let it be Redpoint Beach. (But we’re also big fans of Big Sand Beach and Gairloch Beach.)
