An Corran Beach is a hidden gem nestled along the Scottish coast that offers a truly remarkable experience, especially during the winter season. This enchanting destination combines stunning natural beauty with a fascinating glimpse into the past through its dinosaur footprints.

During the winter months, An Corran Beach transforms into a breathtaking wonderland. The rugged cliffs and rocky shoreline are adorned with a dusting of snow, creating a picturesque scene that seems straight out of a winter postcard. The crisp, fresh air invigorates your senses as you take in the panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.

But what truly sets An Corran Beach apart is its historical significance. As you explore the beach, you'll discover an incredible treasure - the footprints of dinosaurs imprinted in the rocks. These ancient footprints, preserved over millions of years, provide a glimpse into the prehistoric world and ignite the imagination. It's an experience that both children and adults can enjoy, marveling at the ancient giants that once roamed these very shores.

Walking in the footsteps of dinosaurs is an awe-inspiring feeling. It offers a tangible connection to a time long gone and fills you with a sense of wonder and curiosity. The sheer scale and intricacy of the footprints leave you in awe, reminding you of the immense history and mysteries our planet holds.

In addition to the mesmerizing dinosaur footprints, An Corran Beach also offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The serene atmosphere, combined with the sound of crashing waves and the untouched natural surroundings, creates a sense of peace and serenity.

Whether you're a nature enthusiast, a history buff, or simply seeking a unique experience, An Corran Beach is a destination that will leave an indelible mark on your memory. The stunning winter views, coupled with the ancient dinosaur footprints, make it a place of wonder, beauty, and discovery. Embrace the magic of An Corran Beach and let yourself be transported to a world both ancient and...

This is a very secluded beach up here in the north. The sand here is quite dark, not like the black beach in Iceland, but quite dark. Makes it look quite special.

There are people sunbathing here and one can see why. The views are pretty and there aren't many visitors. At least on the late afternoon we've went.

Parking at the one-lane road is quite limited, but we managed to get a spot without problems. On peak times this might be an issue though.

Because it's not only a beach. There are also the dinosaur footprints to be seen. Or not....because I didn't catch them. Even though I walked along the beach over rocks and mossy stones. The tide probably wasn't right and the footprints in the water. But since we didn't come specifically for that (just a quick stop-by) I didn't mind.

This beach wasn't on the list when we came to Skye the first time - since there's just so much to see and do. But this time around we made some time for a quick visit. And it was a nice spot...

Before setting off on my world of discovery on this cloudy rainy day, I had prepared my whole adult life for the moment I could reenact David Attenborough in Jurassic Park.

The thin track of broken road was about the only thing Jurassic on this experience. The unexpected approaches of oncoming cars around hazardous bends and suicidal wild life running in front was the only adrenaline an Adrenaline Junkie should expect.

If you have a spare 9 hours, maybe, just maybe you can find the elusive dinosaur footprint. Although if your clever and lazy like myself, just zoom in and take a picture of the dino footprint on the billboard and pass it off as your own discovery on Instagram.

In fact don't even do that, stay at home, put on Jurassic Park, (70inch HD TV recommended) and take a Instagram snap of the T-Rex, or any Dinosaur you wish, and fool your friends into the discoveries you made in Scotland, they may just...

Oh my goodness! You get to see a dinosaur footprint out in the wild. How wonderful is that? The single track road out there is easy to find, and takes a bit of cooperative driving, but that’s the nature of many of the roads on Skye. The short trip from the main road is well worth the reward. We were blessed to arrive at low tide, so the footprint was readily available. Be sure to check the tide schedule so you don’t get skunked. The walk across the rocks is unstable and at times slippery so be careful. Once there, the main footprint is relatively easy to find, and if you can’t find it, ask someone else, and they will point it out to you. There are other claw prints here and there as well. There are other fossils in the area, so be sure to keep an eye out for them too. Parking is free and there is no kind of admission or anything. Just show up and enjoy.
