I’ve recently returned from a lovely week wandering along the shorelines of the beaches on the Isle of Harris. I was hoping to capture both some waves and investigate how the sea interacts with the sand and rocks.

Lovely Luskentyre
Staying so close to the Harris beaches meant that I was able to pay a few visits to each beach under different conditions and tides. However, I loved going to Luskentyre as it was so peaceful and beautiful. I found a new access point near the graveyard which enabled me to get close to the sand dunes and the ponies although it did mean I had to keep a close eye on the tide in case I got trapped on a sand bank.
Scarista waves
I paid a few visits to Scarista beach when I was staying on the Isle of Harris. It is a wonderful beach with very few people and the most amazing waves breaking onto the steep beach shelf.
Splendid Seilebost
Of all the beaches on Harris I think that Seilebost offers the most variety to a photographer. In addition to the sea and sand interacting there are some wonderful sculptured shapes on the edge of the beach. I visited Seilebost a few times on my recent trip to Harris and I captured a different mood every time.
Isle of Harris: There are Other Beaches
My itinerary started with a visit to Luskentyre Beach as this is the place that everyone raves about as it has some wonderful sand dunes, white sand and glorious blue sea with a background of mountains. However, I did visit some other beaches and I have to say that it was Scarista that stole my heart.
