Cleat Beach, Barra
Tràigh Chleit
A secluded white-sand bay on the west coast of northern Barra, with turquoise water and rocky headlands. Visitors are few.
Cleat Beach lies on the west coast of the Eoligarry peninsula at the northern tip of Barra, not far west of the Traigh Mhòr beach airport. Several small sandy bays, separated by rocky headlands, face the Atlantic. On clear days the water is crystal clear and deep blue, and it is often rated one of Barra's most beautiful beaches. From the road, you walk down a grassy slope for a few minutes to reach the sand. There are no facilities. It can be combined with the beach airport and the Traigh Eais dunes in the same afternoon.
