About
Glenbrittle Beach is situated southwest of the Isle of Skye, framed by the Cuillin Mountains, offering one of the most dramatic backdrops you could imagine. The beach is a mix of dark sand and pebbles, shaped by the wild Atlantic Ocean that crashes onto the shores.
Dog Access and Rules
Glenbrittle Beach is a dog-friendly haven where dogs are welcome all year round. It’s the perfect place for your dog to stretch their legs, sniff around, and enjoy the great outdoors. While dogs can roam freely, it’s always best to keep them under control, especially if other visitors or wildlife are around.
Things To See & Do
The nearby mountains, forest and campsite add to the area’s popularity as a base for hikers and climbers, many of whom come to tackle the Cuillin range. The beach offers a gentler, more relaxing experience, though it’s no less impressive.
Glenbrittle Beach is ideal for a dog walk. It is long enough for a decent walk but also quiet with plenty of open space for dogs to run, explore, and play.
If your dog enjoys splashing around in the water, Glenbrittle’s shallow waves are inviting. While the sea can be pretty chilly, many dogs love jumping in, so bring a towel if your dog is prone to getting wet!
Access and Facilities
Glenbrittle Beach is accessible by car via a single-track road from the village of Carbost, where the Talisker Distillery is located. The drive is scenic, offering views of the Cuillin Mountains. Once you arrive at Glenbrittle, parking is available near the beach at the dog-friendly Glenbrittle Campsite.
The campsite offers basic facilities such as toilets, a small shop and cafe. It’s a popular spot for those looking for a base to explore Skye.
