At the heart of Stronsay, you’ll discover a spectacular view of three interlocking bays – St Catherine’s Bay and the Bay of Holland to the west and Mill Bay to the east – each with unspoiled white sand beaches and contrasting island and North Sea vistas.
Only 12km long, Stronsay’s irregular shape has blessed Orkney’s Island of Bays with miles of coastline, combining the dramatic seascapes of Odiness Bay and Lamb Head, tranquil sheltered beaches, peaceful Whitehall village and pastoral countryside, making Stronsay a haven for families, walkers and wildlife watchers alike.
