We visited twice during our stay in Morar. Beautiful white sands and clear waters, at low tide you can walk right out into the water for what feels like miles and the water is only knee/thigh deep. Lots to explore and great for kids. Just feel disappointed in the lack of investment in the area as it is a haven for campers who do not contribute anything to the local economy but spoil the beauty of the area with rubbish, fires, bbqs etc. Would happily pay an entry fee and pay for parking to visit such a beautiful place and that money could be reinvested in the upkeep and preservation of the area, but instead you have campers as far as the eye can see who contribute nothing to the local economy. The Scottish government should do more to preserve these rare beauty spots and encourage more affluent tourists to frequent the area and spend money in the local shops, restaurants etc.

Parked near silver sands which was a fantastic stretch of beach when the tide was out. Limited free parking but this kept the beach quiet. We then went on to Beautiful Beach (according to google) however we felt this wasnt so nice as it was opposite a golf course, lots of campervans parked up and smelt of seaweed. Beach was also not so nice. I would recommend silver sands, also public toilet that was actually open in the carpark

What a brilliant find this beach was. Given the time of year and the weather, Amidst storms at the end of Feb 2020, I was lucky enough to have the beach to myself. The colour of the sand and the sea was just amazing, words really don't do it justice.

Don’t come here unless you are prepared to clear all your own rubbish, have somewhere where you can defacate without using the beach or woodlands, can park in a designated space and not block the road, respect the environment and the local culture. Do not have beach fires, disposable bbq , cut down trees for wood.
Please leave only footprints and if you want to camp book into a local campsite and contribute to the local economy.

Too many freeloading, disrespectful and general so called wild campers are destroying the natural beauty and delicate enviroment, so please stay away unless you can leave it as you should find it...,...peaceful and natural

To be fair we weren't camping but called to see if it was still a friendly welcoming site we remember from years ago with intentions of camping there again. In short, no. I won't say welcomed, more like begrudgingly met by a "couldn't care less" man who informed us they weren't taking campers due to pandemic (fair enough although site half empty) and was doubtful next year unless we had hook up??? Our autistic granddaughter badly needed the loo but he wouldn't allow her to use one. He said he'd have to clean it after...I'd have cleaned it myself if he'd allowed her to use it. Asked about fees for next year if camping was allowed and we got a shrug and " I dont know, the other half decides the prices not me..I just cut the grass"! No offer to find out or invite to go and see the other half. Never felt so unwelcome and I'm sure Alistair would be mortified if he was still alive. Will not be going back.

Came over Easter weekend, didn't see too many people there even so.

At the higher end of the tide it is a beautiful place, with white sands.

A mark off because the fact the water disappears at low tide leaving a mud flat made things tricky when high tides were early and late in the day (both around 7 o'clock), meaning for most of the day it wasn't so pretty. So the windows when it was were relatively short, and given the weather is very changeable we didn't really see it at its best over even 3 days in Morar as you need to have the tide in and good weather at the same time!

That wouldn't be such a thing if when you visit high tide is in the middle of the day, as then you'll get a good few hours of the water being in the vicinity of the beach.

Some informal rope swings have been put up that the kids enjoyed, and I liked the variety of bays.

Morar beach and others nearby are beautiful and until recently have been unspoilt. Unfotunately there are too many idiots around who seem to think that the signs asking everyone not to have campfires don't apply to them. I counted 6 abandoned firepits, complete with litter. If you're going to go to a place because it's beautiful, take your litter away with you and keep it beautiful.

This was one of the highlights of a recent Scottish Highlands roadtrip. Slightly off the beaten track, there is a small car park with (free) toilets, and a short walk down to the beach. A warm-ish weekday in October, the beach was almost empty. Spotless, bright sand, turquoise water, this was a perfect stop for short stroll and a rest. If there weren't so many other things to see in the area, we could easily have stayed all day. If you want some refreshments, there are none here, but I'd recommend a short 10 minute drive to Arisaig for a coffee with a view.

I had seen so many great reviews about this beach so I drove 2 hours to get here and I was so disappointed. There were many wild campers there. It didn’t even resemble a beach to me if I’m honest. Hardly any water, water was very dirty, looks like oil in water, sea weed, worms which is obvious nature. Only positive was it’s the whitest sand I’ve seen in Scotland but I much preferred sea cliff beach at north Berwick or St. Andrews beach. I wouldn’t recommend.
