Season: summer

Rackwick Bay is the second manonabeach® destination on Hoy, which is a wonderful island, natural and unspoilt.  The beach setting is exceptional, bounded by two hundred metres high cliffs.  It is also the starting point for a walk to the famous Old Man of Hoy.  There is a strong crofting heritage here, with a sensitively restored croft called Cra’as Nest (Crow’s Nest), which you can visit.  This is a fine spot for camping, supported by a bothy.  The beach itself is notable for large, weather-rounded stones, distinguished by subtly different colours.
