The coastline of Barra is made up of rocky inlets interspersed with wonderful white sandy beaches and offers some stunning scenery, rare flowers and wildlife.

From the main road other minor roads lead off towards the scattered townships on the island where you will find a number of small craft outlets and cafes.
