Accommodation overview: This coastline is renowned for its miles of sweeping white sandy beaches which are always quiet, whatever the time of year.  The area is a paradise for surfers, body boarders and beach lovers generally.  The pretty village of Bettyhill, above Torrisdale bay, has good local facilities including pubs and a restaurant, as well as an excellent indoor swimming pool and leisure centre. There is also a museum documenting the fascinating history of the Highland clearances and by following the Strathnaver Trail visitors can experience life in the Highlands from Neolithic times through the Viking era to the modern day.  The area is a wild-life watchers paradise.  Whales, basking sharks, porpoises, seals and otters are all seen in the area.  At Melvich just along the coast there is also a colony of puffins which can be seen and at Forsinard, Strath Halladale, there is an RSPB nature reserve, where local rangers will take visitors to explore the bird life, flora and fauna close to hand.  Nearby Borgie forest has a number of superb woodland trails, ideal for walking or cycling.  Golf, canoeing, cycling, hill-walking, climbing and horse riding are all available locally.  Heading south is the Strath of Kildonan, site of a 19th century gold-rush where it is still possible to pan for gold in the River Helmsdale - some visitors even claim to have paid for their holiday by selling the gold - but you must stake your claim by posting the date and amount of gold found in the old stone letter box!  There are a number of excellent local restaurants, pubs and cafes in the small towns and villages along the coast.  Beechwood provides an ideal base for exploring this spell-binding and unforgettable region of the UK.
