If you’ll walk for a beach, Camas Daraich is a good one — a little white-sand cove near the Point of Sleat at Skye’s southern tip, looking out to Rum, Eigg and the Knoydart hills. It’s a couple of miles on foot from the road end at Aird of Sleat. Bring everything you need; there’s nothing out here but the shore.
