Talisker Beach on the Isle of Skye

#shorts Skye is an amazing place to visit. It is located high up off the West coast of Scotland and I could happily live there. The seas are rich, the weather swings from perfect to extreme and the light is magical.
Added to that it's one of the best places in the UK to see the Northern Lights - it's a very special island.
Talisker beach located in the Northern part of Skye and is accessed by a right of way which is relatively easy to navigate, walking a mile or so down the glen past a nice farm with a great range of poultry and peacocks, on toward the beach with spectacular views on all sides.
This is a trip for people who couldn't manage the mountains as it is relatively short and flat although the access to the beach is over large rounded boulders so probably not a trip for elderly people or anyone with limited mobility.
Parking is on the side of the road leading down to the farm.
The beach is made up of a mixture of white and black sand which makes amazing unique patterns when the tide comes in and goes out. The sea is a vibrant blue color and the waterfall which plummets over the cliff to the right side of the beach drops around 90m. This video probably doesn't capture the scale of the waterfall or rock stack to the left of the beach - you've really got to be there to appreciate it.
We were very lucky with the weather and in early April we had 2 perfect sunny days. The days we traveled to and from Skye it was dull and colder so we timed it well.
