Achmelvich Beach — Attraction in Great Britain

Was looking forward to this beach more than any other on a recent NC500 trip. The single track drive didn't phase me as driven on plenty for the duration of the trip. The approach to find parking was confusing and seemed makeshift with what looked to be homemade signage and bits of rope. Lots of do not enter unprofessional signs. Greeted by a bloke who I'm not entirely sure is legit asking for £5 to park on a bit of grass verge. We were passing through to take photos and visit briefly. All other sites and beaches along the route are well maintained and clear with lookout points. I doubt this set up is run by the Scottish Highlands Council. Someone is making money out of a public beach and I don't think it's going into a beach conservation fund. The set up is shabby and doesn't look official.

Achmelvich beach and neighbouring Vesteys beach is stunning and a great example of what Scotland has to offer. It really is comparable to the best places you would find in more tropical locations with the wildlife to match. But why oh why have the council permitted motor boats and jet skis in this environmentally sensitive area which dominate the bay?! It is an appalling action and I’m shocked that any tourist would come to this part of the world to be towed on a banana boat. The area is also being developed into a larger caravan site too which seems...
