It’s a difficult, if not impossible task finding better beaches elsewhere in the UK. This backpackers lets you delve into the delights of one of the islands best kept secrets.
There’s lots to get stuck into on the island. The beaches may be the main attraction but that’s just the start of it. Wildlife is prolific round the island, an avid watcher will be pleased to see a variety unlike anywhere else. From dolphins to seals and many types of rarer birds it’s very easy to get lost in spotting. But if you were to venture away from sea you can expect to find good food and drink at the local pub. Treat yourself to a location like no other at Colonsay Backpackers.
