White shell-sand beach and machair at Sollas on the north coast of North Uist, with summer wildflowers and corncrakes
Traigh Iar is a long white shell-sand beach on the north coast of North Uist, reached from the townships of Sollas and Grenitote. The beach is backed by machair, the flower-rich coastal grassland, which is at its best in summer when wildflowers including orchids are in bloom.
The machair and dunes are good for walking and for wildlife, including corncrakes in summer. Vallay island, reached across the sands at low tide, and the Udal peninsula are nearby.
