White shell-sand beaches Tràigh Lingeigh and Tràigh Hornais with flower-rich machair in the north of North Uist
Clachan Sands is a stretch of white shell-sand beach and machair in the north of North Uist, reached from the B893 near the township of Clachan Sands. It is made up of two beaches, Tràigh Lingeigh and Tràigh Hornais, separated by a headland.
The machair runs parallel to the beach and is good for walking, with wildflowers including orchids in early summer; the area is part of the North Uist Machair Special Area of Conservation and corncrakes are present. There is a camping and motorhome site on the headland between the two beaches.
