Find someplace comfortable to sit, relax and simply enjoy the sound of the water hitting the shore at Durness Beach. If you're eager for some vitamin sea, this is the place to get your fill.

Durness Beach is an ideal place to begin your day of discovery in Highland. This stretch of coastline comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it's not the only spot to see here. Set aside time for other attractions like Smoo Cave, Balnakiel Craft Village, and John Lennon Memorial Garden to really enjoy what the area has to offer.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (461 reviews)
The property was spacious and clean and had a wonderful view of the river. It made us consider buying an apartment there honestly. There was a miscommunication at the beginning with the code to get our key because the automated message didn't have all of the details, but thank goodness it was during business hours so somebody came down and helped us. I would definitely go back in a heartbeat.

The property was very clean and unique. It is in a fantastic location so you can easily walk to many restaurants and other locations. We had no trouble finding parking in front of the building. We had a great time!
