We are located on the picturesque west coast of North Uist 16 miles from the ferry terminal at Lochmaddy, 17 miles from ferry terminal at Berneray and 17 miles from Benbecula Airport.
We are three miles (4.8 km) north of Bayhead. Turn for Hougharry (Hogha Gearraidh) off the A865. The site is sign posted off the A865 - look out for the beach image on our sign.
There are bus services on Mondays to Saturdays linking to/from Berneray for ferry connections to Harris, and with Lochmaddy and Benbecula. Service W18 serves the west side of North Uist and stops at the Balranald RSPB Nature Reserve.
