达尔摩海滩

Set on the exposed north coast of the Isle of Lewis the next stop is Iceland. This secluded section of the coast takes the full brunt of the Atlantic swells. The beach is made of a good stretch of golden sand flanked by rugged cliffs. At the north eastern end of the beach are a couple of sea stacks which are a favourite with photographers. It is great for families but the sea has strong currents and huge waves in windy weather so swimming is only possible in gentle weather and care should be taken at all times. It is immensely popular with surfers ang has been described as the best surfing beach in Europe!
