This beautiful sandy beach is located on Eire Island in the Shetland Islands.
A beautiful beach on a Scottish island has been named the third most beautiful beach in the world by leading travel experts.
Brecon Beach, on the island of Eire in the Shetland Islands, was praised for its “clear water and perfectly powdery sand”. Only Palm Cove Beach in Australia and Honopu Beach in Hawaii ranked higher.
This beautiful beach is located between two bright green fields and is protected from the southwest winds that often blow through the area. It is also famous for its beautiful turquoise water.
Brecon Beach is more than just sand and sea. There are also ruins of Viking and pre-Viking settlements. Over the years, incredible finds have been made in this area, including pottery, bone combs, and even Roman coins.
However, if you’re planning a visit, be prepared for very cold waters, warns Condé Nast Traveler. The beach is also located in a rural area and requires a steep climb to reach it, the Daily Record reports.
The travel magazine also highlighted the coast’s dangerous past, stating: “This is a beautiful place with crystal clear water and perfectly powdery sand, but not everything is as it is on a sunny summer day. Many ships met their end along this coast – all of them. Learn about the dangerous seas at the local museum in Burrabo, detailing harrowing records and displaying fascinating artifacts that have washed ashore over the years. ”
The experts who selected the best beaches said that they chose beautiful and quiet places that are a little difficult to access. They didn’t just choose the usual busy sandy beaches. He also said: “From the most beautiful beaches in Europe to far-flung beaches in Asia, Africa and beyond, these are some of the best beaches in the world.”
