Surrounded by a landscape of soft blue water, golden sands and rocky coves, Mellon Udrigle is one of the most beautiful hidden beaches in Scotland. Normally, when people think of Scotland they think of green hillsides, historic castles, woolly sheep and snowcapped mountains. But something people tend to overlook is that Scotland is scattered with gorgeous beaches that are perfect for year-round vacations. With the unpredictable weather conditions in Scotland, it isn’t the ideal spot for constant sun-but these beaches are beautiful enough to look past the snow lining the sand in the winter.
If you are someone who enjoys more than just laying on the beach, this is the perfect spot for extreme water sports, such as kayaking, wind surfing and sailing.
There are great lodging accommodations around the beach, but something to consider (which will be cheaper) is staying at the local campgrounds. Only accessible from a solitary road, Mellon Udrigle beach is the perfect spot to relax and truly enjoy the surrounding scenery of Scotland.

Awesome! The house I grew up in was named Udrigle in honor of this place and I remember playing there as a wee boy. That area was a favorite spot of my parents. Thanks Brittany for reminding me of such a treasure!
