Sango Bay is the closest beach to Durness, meaning it is usually the most busy, but it is also a great place for fossil hunting. Sandwood Bay, further south, is much more remote; you have to hike about 6km from the nearest road to get there, but you are rewarded with stunning scenery and waves that are perfect for surfing. Closer to Durness is the popular Smoo Cave, a large cave in the cliffs with an intriguing history involving smugglers, highwaymen, and even ghosts!

Local rangers are based here, should you need advice or information about your planned hiking routes. Durness is just a few kilometres from Cape Wrath, the most north westerly point on mainland Britain.

Once there, enjoy the views along the coast, as well as out to sea, where you might even be able to see as far as the Orkney Islands or even the distant arctic continent.
