Is this the home ground of Baleshare Albion FC? Goalposts on the machair just behind the dunes and beach on Baleshare. Biggest hazard here would appear to be rabbit holes across the pitch.

Take care - terns nesting The pebble bank at the back of Baleshare beach is favoured as a nesting site by arctic terns, thus the notice asking visitors to keep away from the area. The pebble bank only stretches a relatively short distance south from the car parking area before being lost under the dune system.

A sandy island surrounded by sand This is the part of the extensive area of tidal sand on the east side of Baile Sear island. The sand must be firm due to the number of vehicle tyre tracks across it. Looking due east towards the profile of Eabhal.

Vehicle graveyard Baile Sear Vehicles are rather like dwellings on the Western Isles. When no longer wanted, they are simply left to rot out in the elements.
