  If you are driving, start your journey from Stornoway, the largest town on the Isle of Lewis. Head west on the A857 road towards Barvas. Continue on the A857 for approximately 17 miles until you reach the junction with the A858. Turn left onto the A858 towards the village of Breasclete. After about 2 miles, take a right turn onto the B8011 road. Follow this road for about 6 miles until you reach Kneep. Look for signs for Reef Beach, and you will find parking available near the beach entrance.

• Public Transportation

  If you are using public transportation, take a bus from Stornoway to the village of Breasclete. The bus service is operated by Western Isles Buses, and you can check their schedule for bus times. Once you arrive in Breasclete, you will need to walk approximately 2 miles to reach Reef Beach. It’s advisable to ask local residents for directions if you’re unsure, as the walk may involve navigating some rural roads. Alternatively, consider booking a taxi from Breasclete if you prefer not to walk.

• Taxi

  For a more convenient option, you can take a taxi from Stornoway directly to Reef Beach. This is particularly useful if you are traveling with a group or have limited time. Taxis are available throughout Stornoway, and you can either book one in advance or find one at a taxi stand. The journey will take approximately 30 minutes and cost around £30-£40, depending on traffic and time of day.
