Geo of Beespund is a prominent coastal feature located in the picturesque region of Shetland, Scotland. It is specifically classified as a headland, which is a narrow strip of land that extends out into the sea. As a point of interest, it is often referred to as Beespund Point.

Situated on the eastern coast of Shetland, Geo of Beespund boasts breathtaking views of the North Sea. It is characterized by its steep cliffs, which rise dramatically from the surrounding rocky shoreline. The cliffs are composed of sedimentary rocks, displaying a range of colors including shades of grey, brown, and red.

The headland itself is approximately 200 meters in length and juts out into the sea, forming a natural barrier between the land and the open water. It is an ideal location for birdwatching enthusiasts, as the cliffs provide nesting grounds for various seabirds such as puffins, guillemots, and fulmars. The area is also known to attract seals, which can often be spotted lounging on rocks or swimming in the surrounding waters.

Access to Geo of Beespund is limited due to its remote location, and it is recommended to visit with caution as the cliffs can be unstable in certain areas. However, for those who are able to experience its beauty firsthand, the headland offers a unique opportunity to witness the raw power of nature and marvel at the stunning coastal landscapes that Shetland has to offer.
