About Mellon Udrigle Beach
Mellon Udrigle Beach is a hidden gem of the Wester Ross coast — a crescent of white shell sand with clear turquoise water and some of the most spectacular mountain views of any beach on the NC500. The great peaks of An Teallach, the Fisherfield Hills and the Wester Ross mountains create an extraordinary backdrop that few beaches anywhere in Britain can rival. Atlantic grey seals haul out on the rocks at the north end.
