Season: spring

Tolsta is a relatively large Hebridean village and is quite remote, sitting fourteen miles north of Stornoway.  Facing east across The Minch towards the Scottish mainland, the main beach is reasonably sheltered and popular with surfers.  It is the largest beach on Lewis, truly spectacular. There are invigorating coastal walks here and neighbouring Garry beach is exquisite, a real jewel.  You can head south from Tolsta Head down to Traigh Mhor (big beach) car park, or north all the way up to Port of Ness.
