Noustiger Beach

Nestled on the east coast of Rousay Island, Noustiger Beach (also known as Lopness Beach) offers a unique coastal landscape that captivates visitors with its distinctive character. Unlike traditional sandy shores, this beach showcases a rugged stone-covered terrain that adds a raw, natural charm to its appeal.

The real magic of Noustiger Beach lies in its breathtaking panoramic views. Visitors are treated to an unparalleled vista of the magnificent Saint Magnus Church on the nearby island of Egilsay, creating a picturesque scene that seamlessly blends natural beauty with historical significance.

A charming local feature of this beach is the Suso Burn, a small stream that gently flows onto the shoreline. Adding a touch of whimsy to the landscape, domestic ducks can often be found populating the mouth of this waterway, bringing life and movement to the tranquil setting.

For those seeking a beach experience that goes beyond the typical sandy stretch, Noustiger Beach offers a distinctive Orkney Islands encounter - where geology, wildlife, and historic landscapes converge in a single, stunning location.
