Fantastic place to watch bottle nosed dolphins close up over the summer months. Plan your visit to arrive an hour after low tide. Note: car park often full and parking a bit of a nightmare.

Handa is a stunning Island on the West Coast of Scotland. It takes just over two hours to reach the ferry port - the ferry runs through out the day over the summer and only takes 10 minutes to reach the island. Handa is home to all kinds of wildlife including many seabirds such as puffins and great skuas. The drive there is stunning too!
