Ord Coral Beaches

The Ord Coral beaches are a hidden gem on the Sleat Peninsula of Skye. You can truly appreciate the coral beaches at low tide so check the tide times before you go. The lower the tide the more exploring you can do. It is a short walk of approximately 3km or 1.8 miles but you can explore further if you wish. Not suitable for wheelchair users but a gentle walk for folks who don’t want to over exert themselves.

Good for gaining a bit of fitness or simply enjoying your surroundings. Off the beaten track and a beautiful spot to find yourself exploring.
