Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car, start from Portree, the capital of Isle of Skye. Take the A87 road towards Kyle of Lochalsh. After approximately 20 miles, continue on the A87 until you reach the junction with the A850. Follow the A850 towards Dunvegan until you reach the A863. Turn onto the A863 and follow it until you reach the junction with the A87. Continue on the A87 until you reach the A832. Follow the A832 until you reach Gairloch. Once in Gairloch, follow the signs for Red Point Beach. You will need to take a left turn onto the B8021 road, which will lead you directly to the beach. The entire journey takes about 1.5 hours and covers approximately 45 miles.

• Public Transportation

  If you are using public transportation, you can take a bus from Portree to Gairloch. The local bus service, run by Stagecoach, operates routes from Portree to Gairloch. Check the current bus schedule as it may vary. Once you arrive in Gairloch, you will need to take a taxi to Red Point Beach, as public transportation does not reach the beach directly. The taxi ride from Gairloch to Red Point Beach takes around 15 minutes and costs approximately £15-£20.

• Walking

  If you are already in Gairloch and prefer to walk, you can hike to Red Point Beach from the village. From the Gairloch village center, head west towards the coast and follow the paths leading toward Red Point. The walk is scenic but can take around 1.5 to 2 hours depending on your pace and the exact starting point in Gairloch.
