Sandy beach ripples, Singing sands, Arivegaig, Kentra Bay, Ardnamurchan, Highlands, Scotland, UK
The singing sands at Kentra bay form a quite stunning and remote beach backed by birch and pine woods. At low tide they stretch right across the bay and allow plenty of scope for exploring along the coastline to the right. To make the sands sing shuffle across with either bare feet or shoes. The noise is made by the grains of sand rubbing together and a number of factors are present at Camas an Lighe which make it possible. The sand grains are completely round and between and in diameter, the sand contains silica and has the right level of humidity to generate the low frequency sound.
