The machair and beaches along the west coast of Benbecula are a haven for wildlife such as ground nesting waders including the oystercatcher, lapwing, dunlin, ring plover, redshank and the snipe that return here to nest each year. Listen out also for the illusive corncrake whilst taking in the breathtaking horizon as the sun sets on one of the many beaches such as Culla Bay which can be accessed through Nunton or the township of Aird and has parking and a picnic area suitable for wheel-chair users.
