Location

Situated right next to the beautiful beach at Burrafirth and adjacent to the world famous Hermaness Nature Reserve there is plenty for visitors to do - all within walking distance.
A relaxing and peaceful place, ideal for hill and coastal walks, bird watching, sea and trout fishing. The shore is also habitat to many seals, porpoises and otters.
Slightly further afield, although still within walking distance you will find the Unst Heritage Centre, Unst Boat Haven and Viking Longship Project.
Boat tours round the Muckle Flugga Lighthouse depart from the Shore Station pier (approx 100 metres down the road) weekly during the summer months - something not to be missed!
