About

Vatersay Bay is a beautiful half mile long sandy bay with a wide expanse of sand dunes.
Look out for the memorial to the 350 passengers who drowned when the Annie Jane was wrecked in the bay in 1853. The wreckage of a Catalina Flying Boat can be seen on the side of the road on the north side of the bay.

Photographers Tip

Best photographed from north end of beach on the edge of the sand dunes looking south towards the village.
