Neeberg is a coastal feature located in the Shetland Islands, a group of islands situated off the north coast of Scotland. Specifically, Neeberg is a headland or point that juts out into the surrounding sea. It is situated on the eastern coast of the main island of Shetland, known as Mainland.

Neeberg is known for its rugged and dramatic cliffs, which reach heights of up to 60 meters (197 feet) above sea level. These cliffs are composed of sedimentary rocks, including sandstone and shale, which have been shaped over thousands of years by the relentless forces of the North Atlantic Ocean. Visitors to Neeberg can witness the impressive power of the crashing waves against the cliffs, creating a mesmerizing display of natural beauty.

The headland offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding coastline and the open sea. On clear days, visitors can see the nearby islands of Bressay and Noss, as well as the distant horizon. The area is also rich in wildlife, with seabirds nesting on the cliffs, including puffins, guillemots, and razorbills. The waters around Neeberg are home to seals, dolphins, and occasionally even whales, providing an opportunity for wildlife enthusiasts to observe these creatures in their natural habitat.

Due to its natural beauty and ecological significance, Neeberg has become a popular destination for tourists and outdoor enthusiasts. Hiking trails along the headland provide an opportunity to explore the area and experience its raw and untouched beauty. Additionally, its proximity to nearby villages and towns allows for easy access and amenities for visitors.
