Traigh Mhor (Barra Airport Beach)
Local highlightBarra’s airport is the only one in the world where scheduled flights land on a beach — the broad cockle strand of Traigh Mhor, which vanishes under the sea at high tide, so the timetable follows the tides rather than the clock. When no planes are due you can walk out and gather cockles like everyone else. Best watched from the terminal cafe with a coffee; check the flight times before wandering onto the sand.
